It's an RPM thing.
You can get round it by "--force"-ing the qmail installation.
tgz is probably the best^H^H^H^Hmost satisfactory way to install since
you have to read the docs to know what you're doing. That's the trouble
with RPMs - you can install as easy as "rpm -Uvh" but have no inkling of
what the software you've just installed actually does!
