what is the newest rpm for CUPS in SL 4.5 ?

cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.2.i386.rpm

I fear in the case of cups (and probably a few others) the only way out
is to build the rpm without the dist tag, so that yum and rpm recognize
that the package needs updating...

Ugg ... thanks for letting us know. For SL 4.6 we cleaned all these up (I really hope) but that doesn't clean up the errata in the other releases. I'll take a shot at cleaning this up, which might involve moving the older rpm's into the obsolete area.

But how to get these updates onto systems where the old packages are already installed (other than manually, with --force)? Do I have to dig out my old scripts from the pre yum aera?

Cheers,
