[root@ipc /root]# rpm -i openssh-2.5.2p2-2.6.x.sparc.rpm
only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: openssh-2.5.2p2-2.6.x.sparc.rpm cannot be installed

here's what I did install however:

rpm-3.0.4-0.48.sparc.rpm
db3-utils-3.1.17-4.6x.sparc.rpm
tcl-8.0.3-20.sparc.rpm (needed popt-1.6.4-6x.sparc.rpm)
popt-1.6.4-6x.sparc.rpm  (needed by rpm-4.0.4-6x.sparc.rpm)
rpm-4.0.4-6x.sparc.rpm

So, the only items I couldn't install were the ssh items, which is what I was
trying to install in the first place. 

should I try to force an install, using "rpm --force -i
openssh-2.5.2p2-2.6.x.sparc.rpm"
or would that be a bad thing to do...?

awaiting sage replies with baited breath...
