You can get it to work if you "rpm -i" instead of "rpm -U" (at least, it
looked like that worked last time I tried it), but then you get into other
problems: mainly with confused sysadmins when two versions of a package are
simultaneously installed, but probably also with e.g. the RH system upgrade
procedure.
