I'm running RedHat 3.03, kernel 1.2.13 and in order to upgrade to 
kernel 2.0, I've upgraded rpm to 2.2.8, but Glint now fails to recognize 
packages and gives the error message

  only packages with major numbers <=2 are supported by this version of RPM

However I am able to install these packages manually with

  rpm -i --nodeps linux.jdk.shared......

for example.  Furthermore after the manual installation, glint can see the 
installed package and verify it.

Can anybody help?  I did see a similar message on the archives, but no 
reply to it.

Thanking you in advance.
