Sorry, this rpm version is to old -- is it actually 2.4.1?  Please enter
the command:

    rpm --version

If you're using =C2=ABS.u.S.E. Linux=C2=BB 5.0, please update the base system
(serie "a") first or at least rpm and YaST from
<A HREF=3D"ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse51/"><A HREF=3D"ftp://ftp.s=
use.com/pub/suse_update/suse51/</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse51=
/</A</A>> . If you are cpnnected to the
Internet, the following two commands are sufficient:

        rpm -U <A HREF=3D"ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse51/rpm/rpm.r=
pm"><A HREF=3D"ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse51/rpm/rpm.rpm</A">ftp:=
