What rpm version? Does rpm 4.4.1-18.1 from rawhide work as anticipated.
Apologies, rpm-4.3.2-21. Will it break my (FC3) box if I install FC4t3's rpm on it?
Yeah, do you not have a rawhide box? See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=155700 I'll consider this a request to back port for fc3.
If it works in rawhide then that's cool. Don't backport it on my behalf ;)
