I rebuilt the database and still got the same error message.
I did find the same rpm on the 7.1 CD and it installed fine.
Could I be getting corrupt downloads from cooker?

try: rpm
rpm won't let me install an rpm I got from cooker:
# rpm -ivh mirrordir-0.10.44-3mdk.i586.rpm
only packages with major numbers = 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: mirrordir-0.10.44-3mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed
I then downloaded a newer version of rpm but I got the same error

try: rpm -q mirrordirto see if it's there, if so, try:
rpm -Uvh [newer version of mirrordir-0.10.44-3mdk.i586.rpm]
rpm doesn't like to install things that are already there, am sometimes
doesn' give the correct answer
