Geoff,
I do expect things to break, but this one was not expected and a fix would
be appreciated.
Earlier today, Richard Gilligan reported the same problem under the heading
"RPM upgrade problems". He was running rpm-3.0.5-27mdk and got the message
"only packages with major numbers <=3 are supported by this version of RPM"
while trying to install "glibc-2.2.1-3mdk.rpm".
If I understand his report correctly, glibc-2.2.1-3mdk.rpm has an rpm major
version of 4 and, contrary to your statement of forward compatibility,
rpm-3.0.5 couldn't handle it. Please correct me if my understanding is
incorrect.
