Glint used to choke when there are subdirectories and other
non-rpm items in the directory. There is an
update for glint in RH5.1 which fixes other problems.
I don't use glint any longer. rpm itself gives
plenty of control, and you don't have to hunt up
and down all those silly levels of packages
looking for something you know is is there.
With glint it takes too long to highlight everything
so you can upgrade. I like rpm -Uvh *.rpm much better.
