Yeah, all those rpms are for 9.0 and you are running 8.2. Not gonna work unless you rebuild the src.rpms on your system, which will probably be a PITA. You might be better off upgrading to 9.0, or waiting a week and upgrading to 9.1. It will probably be less work ,plus you'll get all the other goodies in the new release. -- Greg
