I first tried to install a package using YaST, but it saw that it had a
"newer" verson on CD, so it went with that version instead.

Not cool.

So I tried installing it via the rpm command and got:

linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd # rpm -i  mjpegtools-1.6.1.90-1.src.rpm
warning: user rbultje does not exist - using root
linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd #


linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd # rpm -i  mjpegtools-1.6.1.90-1.src.rpm
warning: user rbultje does not exist - using root
linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd #

When I do a pin mjpegtools, I can confirm that it's not installed.

Any clues on how to get this rpm installed?  (It's not only this rpm, but
3 -- all of which exhibit the same behavior.  What can I say?  I don't
want crippleware installed on my system!)

Thanks in advance,

Krikket
