Matthew, thank you for the help.  I don't see how I missed it.

If the list can help again...

The originating problem:

If the 'Build Date:' is the way to judge which package is "newer", then rpm
seems to be wrong.

Any ideas?

Should I barrel ahead and use the  '--force' install option?

Thank you for any suggestions.
