In kpackage, with "glibc-2.2.1-3mdk.rpm" selected, I get the following error message:

"only packages with major numbers <=3 are supported by this version of RPM"

Several other packages give this error also.

Current versions:

Mandrake 7.0

kpackage-1.3.10-1mdk
rpm-3.0.5-27mdk
rpm-devel-3.0.5-27mdk

I'm trying to install:
rpm-4.0-8mdk.rpm

which has dependences:
glibc >= 2.1.92
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

Questions:

1.  What version of rpm will fix the above problem?

2.  Where can I find "rpmlib"?  I've searched rpmfind.com and the Mandrake web site and got no hits.

Curiosity questions only:

3.  What part of "glibc-2.2.1-3mdk.rpm" fails "<=3" anyway?

4.  What kind of ridiculous limit is 3 for a version number anyway?  A large number like 1000 might be barely justifiable, but "3"?  Give me a break!
