i don't remember the whole story with this, but i can give you the short version.
mandrake does not do RPM 4 yet.
stick with version 3
you can somehow force 4 to work, however the person who posted how to do this also
pointed out that it will trash your system. so the point is what? =)
if you want the detailed version, i'm sure someone here can provide it, or you can
search the archives.
unless of course, this problem has since been fixed, in which case i am totally wrong.

Hi,
Im running Mandrake 7.1 and have come across a problem with the Version of
RPM I am using.
It seems many packages are now prepared using version 4 which is not
compatible with 3
I just get an error message stating words to this effect.
Fun part is, I cant install the version 4 RPM as its packed with 4! (Or so
it seems) Anyone else come across this and solved it?
Dont know wether to uninstall this and get a tarball, any ideas please?
TIA
Wayne.
