Comment 1 Omkhar Arasaratnam 2003-09-26 19:53:49 UTC
Apparently this can be resolved with the latest RPM from here :
ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.2.x

Perhaps this can be added as a dependancy?

Comment 2 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:41:31 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
