That was my reaction also. The install from CD went without a hitch, but it appears (looking at /var/lib/rpm) that I have pieces of both 3.0.4 and 4.0.3 installed! > > What version of rpm do you have installed? > > >>[root@bohr src]# rpm -Uvh popt-1.6.3-1.03.i386.rpm >>error: failed dependencies: >> rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by >>popt-1.6.3-1.03 >> > > I believe this is a complaint that it needs a newer version of rpm > installed.

The rpm environment seems to be stable now after a --rebuilddb in 4.0.3. I'm still curious/annoyed that the installer didn't take care of this, but oh well.
