In this case however, Wai already had the mdk package installed and I
didn''t know if there were any dependencies on it. Seemed like the
safest
thing to do in that case was to upgrade.

Since Wai had modified some of the MDK files, the corresponding files from
my RPM would have been installed as .rpmnew had the old ones been left in
/etc/shorewall. That is why I advised that /etc/shorewall be renamed and a
clean one created prior to the upgrade.
