Thanks Arjen and everyone else for your help. Iv'e just checked the builds for apache and mod_php4 with rpm -q <packagename> and rpm is returning the latest downloaded versions. So. before updating with YOU, I could do rpm -q <pn> to get the current version & build, go online with YOU, and upgrade a package, then do rpm -q <pn>, just to verify that the package has been correctly installed.

If Yast can display the build number, is there a reason for not including the build number when doing 'httpd -v', or 'mysqld -v' etc?

Yes. YaST queries the RPM database, which stores the build number (to keep track of versions). The deamons themselves can't do that, since it is quite possible that they are not installed by RPM. If you want to know the build number, 'rpm -q <packagename>' will help. See 'man rpm'.
