Description Mark Allen 2000-05-23 16:22:55 UTC 
The newest gpm-1.19-1-1.i386.rpm will not install correctly. I believe the
packaging is incorrect.  The gpm-devel RPM does install correctly.

I finally got on to updates.redhat.com and downloaded the canonical version. It
did install. I guess some mirrors have bad packages.  Sorry to bother you.
