So I think I know why you're having problems - you're attempting to run
this on rhl 8.0 - specifically on rpm 4.1. I'm not sure how to handle
this w/o making the code ugly with if statements.

But, I need a good way of getting people from psyche to phoebe+ cleanly.
hmm.

*grumble*

I'm going to need to install an 8.0 system to test this stuff.

I'll go do that now, or I'll figure something out.
Not sure why it's erroring _there_ though.
