I must admit I was not sure what the package names were supposed to be for "RPM". I don't know what packaging for "RPM Systems" means -- it seems that different Linux distributions based on RPM name some packages differently.

Thanks a lot. I'll change the package names in the dependencies. > Hope your New Year is great. This is one of my New Year's resolutions!
