Kevin, This means that corporate server is using rpm 3.x and that you've chosen a package that was built for rpm 4.x (or later). The only way to get around it (maybe) is to rebuild from srpm, which may involve fiddling with the .spec file or upgrade to rpm 4.x, which will cause more problems than it is worth. You'd be better off using the update packages under 1.0.1 (in the updates directory), or using packages built for 7.x.
