Issue

I have RedHat Linux 4.2 for Intel installed on my machine, and have 
applied patches to upgrade the kernel to 2.0.33. Everything had been 
working great. I recently downloaded files from the RedHat site 
and installed them. The installation worked OK, except one package 
needed a higher version of GLINT.

Response

Other than the obvious (upgrade the system to one of the newer 
releases), it seems that the /usr/lib/rpmrc file has some lines that 
are only supported by newer versions of glint/rpm. It should be 
safe, therefore, to just comment out the offending lines by 
inserting a '#' character at the beginning of each one.
