1. don't contact me directly about problems, please contact the
yum-mailing list - that way your questions and the responses to them can
help more people

2. The problem is in the version of rpm - so you'll have to have a bit
more complete info - what ver of rpm and of the linux kernel are you
running? What distro is it?
