Hello, I downloaded yesterday the Red Hat 6.2 RPMs for openssl and openssh from one of the official mirrors. I could install them on a stock Red Hat 6.2 box because rpm -Uvh says (quoting from memory...): cannot install because there is dependency conflict between this rpm (openssh core) and the version of rpm and rpmlib that you are using...... In other words, the rpm packages generated *for* Red Hat 6.2 don't want to be installed by the version of RPM which *comes* with Red Hat 6.2..... I am signalling this because it looks to me like somebody labeled by mistake as 6.2 something which is only meant to go on Red Hat 7.0 systems. What do you think? Please let me know your opinion. I am downloading the tarball now, and will try to build from it, but I'd really rather keep anything under rpm control. Please let me know if and where tested rpms for Red Hat 6.2 are, and, of course, if you need the complete exact report from rpm. Regards, Marco Fioretti P.S.:Please send any follow up also to: marco.fioretti at tiscalinet.it

RH released an updated version of rpm with the 6.2 errata quite some time ago, this version reads the rpm v4 format files, which are now being issued as standard RH62 errata updates. If you are running an older version of rpm then you will also be substantially behind on your erata updates. I suggest you do a check on all your boxes immediately.
