You want the packages in the /current/ branch of the repo.

The packages in the repo root are legacy, and are no longer maintained in most cases. I hope to actually remove them from the root at some point. These *-toaster packages will continue to exist in the /current/ branch though (as they have for quite some time now). In fact, the *-toaster files in the root are the exact same files that are in /current/, as they're simply hard links so they don't take up more storage.

The directory entries in the root are only there for backwards compatibility for some non-standard scripts that some people have in the wild. For those users please get your scripts changed *now*. I might remove these root entries any time now.

Thanks.

what would be a better option

download the source rpms from and recompile
http://mirror5.qmailtoaster.com/


OR

directly download and install from here
http://mirror5.qmailtoaster.com/current/CentOS/6/x86_64/
the packages here seems to be more updated

Sure. The source rpms are in the repo. Just use your web browser to find
and download them.

I'll have a look into that when I get a chance. I didn't get that error,
I promise you. That was an upgrade though, not a fresh install. I can
hopefully spot the error just by looking at it, now that I know there's
one there.

Certainly!
