That's down to a difference in approach between the Net-SNMP project
packaging, and that used by RedHat/Fedora.   We basically supply a
single RPM containing everything that we regard as "core", while
RedHat splits this into a number of separate packages.  I thought that
the most recent N/S-supplied RPMs included the necessary
meta-information to handle this, but it's quite possible that this
isn't working properly.

The safest thing would be to uninstall the RedHat-supplied RPMs before
installing ours.  Alternatively, you could use the RedHat SRPM (and
spec file) to build a suitable unified RPM - Fedora 5 comes with 5.3,
so that would probably be the best starting point.
