That's not a bug, but a design decision. You just need to put
the RPMs in the tree and run the genhdlist program using the path
to your tree as an argument. You can find genhdlist at
misc/src/install on the CD or FTP site.

That's a problem with the packaging. You have to uninstall that
one and then install the new one. Nothing we can do about it now.

Some steps can't be taken backwards yet. The install is not
one program...it has several that it runs. There will never
be a way to step back though the whole thing (well, at least not
in the near future).
