The version of rpm I have can only handle version 1 rpms. When I
try to use it to upgrade to a new version of a package, I get an
error message
error: Package tin-1.22-5.i386.rpm is a version 3 RPM package. This
version of rpm can only handle version 1 RPM packages. Check
ftp.redhat.com for information on obtaining a newer version
of rpm.
But I can't seem to find an i386 binary of the current version of rpm
on the ftp site. All I can find are rpms of the current version of
rpm -- which I can't use because <goto groan>
I expect this is a FAQ but I couldn't find it.
