I am in the final portion of rebuilding kde-2.1-1mdk src rpms for my Mandrake 
7.2 (ish) system.  I am doing this after upgrading to glibc-2.2.  All is 
going well, so far as compiling and installing goes (we'll see after trying 
to restart the whole shebang afterward).  I also downloaded, built, and 
installed rpm-4.0.  

Question...did someone not too long ago indicate how one can upgrade to 
rpm-4.0?  I installed it and now it doesn't recognize any of the rpms that I 
have already installed from rpm-3.0.5.  I am having to install practically 
everything I build now with the --nodeps switch because rpm-4.0 doesn't 
recognize the fact that XFree86 rpms and various other rpms really are 
already installed.  I tried "rpm --rebuilddb" in the hopes that this would go 
somewhere towards fixing things but it didn't do squat.

How do I get rpm-4.0 to recognize/convert the previous rpm database?
