When trying to upgrade some packages with "rpm -U packnamehere" I got the following

only packages with major numbers = 3 are supported by this version of RPM
This has happened on several upgrades I have tried before but now its become a
problem due to
other suggestions from anyone on this?
Many thanks,

You need a newer version of rpm. You will also have to upgrade some

Ok, I went and downloaded the new rpm-4.0-4 package and went to do
the rpm -Uv on it and it gives me the same message. So I am
apparently stuck here. I need to upgrade to rpm v4 to install
packages with a major number 3 but can't do that
