to Unknown author: On mandrake 7.1 ?! I don't think so, this is the latest version, I think. I am using…

Mandrake 7.1 is somewhat old. Latest version is Mandrake 8.0, on which it works.

And yes, minor version change matters here. The version 4 RPMs are supported by rpm-4.x shipped with RH 7.0 and higher or for older Red Hats (like 6.2) you have to upgrade to rpm 3.0.5 or higher to be able to use these packages.
The update to rpm 3.0.5 is officialy recommended by Red Hat for their older distros if you need to install these new format RPMs.

I never used mandrake, so I can't tell; But the other distros are around 7, so I assumed they were also there.

Hmmmm.
So far for rpm being a universal format. Back to .tar.gz Slackware will rule once more :-)

On mandrake 7.1 ?! I don't think so, this is the latest version, I think. I am using version 3.0.6 of RPM, and I doubt a minor version change would cause such a package to be refused ??

I am too wrapped up to even think about this problem. Marc could one of you guys address this and get back to him.

Thanks.

From: "john.savage" Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 21:16:48 +0100 Dear Mr Hess � I am using Linux Mandrake v7.1 and find that rpm (version 3.0.4) refuses to install the FPC v1.0.5, claiming that 'only packages with major version numbers<=3 are supported by this version of RPM'. This puzzles me, since the major version number is surely 1. Anyway, I'm not sure how to proceed and your advice would be appreciated. � Regards � John Savage Ardent Delphi fan

Dear Mr Hess I am using Linux Mandrake v7.1 and find that rpm (version 3.0.4) refuses to install the FPC v1.0.5, claiming that 'only packages with major version numbers<=3 are supported by this version of RPM'. This puzzles me, since the major version number is surely 1. Anyway, I'm not sure how to proceed and your advice would be appreciated.

He is using a too old version of RPM :-)
