I recall a thread (I think on zoot-list) about moving from rpm 3.0.4 to
4.0.x. Going from 3.0.4 to 4.0 was certain disaster. From 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 to
4.0 was the only possible way. IIRC, even then it wasn't 100% reliable and
some recommended staying at 3.0.5 (it would work with rpm's made with 3.0
and 4.0 or something like that, so not worth the 3.0.5 -> 4.0 risk). Check
out the archives or maybe someone else remembers exactly what was discussed.
