ApplixWare 5.0 install dies

Wolverine (RC1) ApplixWare 5.0 doesn't install any longer. I'm guessing it is an RPM issue since it installs fine on older releases of RHL # ./install.bsh Installing Applixware 5.0 1315...

A series of failed dependency errors follow. This may also be an Applix issue, but I'm reporting it per Aaron Brown's suggestion.
please copy output rpm -qp --scripts shelf-bin-shelf-base*rpm.

This is almost certainly an issue with --prefix and/or --relocate.
Fixed --relocate in rpm CVS, should be in rpm-4.0.3-0.4 and later.
