You have a good point.
Any ideas anyone?
Lots, but they all end up either reinventing up2date or hacking yum and/or
rpmlib. Not very appealing :-(
But then they actually did break "rpm -U" and "yum update", so maybe
that's what we're bound to do after all anyway.
I wonder whether there's a hidden switch when building rpm to make it
work right with z-stream tags. If there is, the CentOS folks haven't found
it either... I'm going to check whether TUV's rpm binaries get it right,
unless someone beats me to it.

Well, I've looked at cups, and in this case, it was a matter of me getting it
wrong. It really should have been cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.el4_5.2 and not
cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.2.src.rpm
Connie has gotten all of our build scripts taken care of so that they put the
appropriate el4_5, el4_6, el5_0 ... etc. But there is this batch of rpm's from
before, where we were figuring out what RedHat was doing.
I think maybe the correct way to do it, is to rebuild it again without the dist
tag, and push it out to SL 40-45. But then we'll have to keep doing that until
they finally update the number in a way that we can get things back on track.
So the new cups errata would be cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.5.src.rpm, which would
install correctly I believe.
