Re: Making RH 8.0 work

Jos -

        I've seen this error before, and much to my continuing
annoyance, I can't remember what I did to make it go away.  I can tell
you, however, that the jwbernin-postgres-branch is more likely to get
you working sooner; the head of that branch is code I've managed to get
working on an 8.0 client with an 8.0 server.  It's still using the
rpm404 compatibility module, because I've not had time to look into that
yet, but I was able to update my 8.0 system with it.

        The conversion to the RPM 4.1 API is next on my list for this
branch; I'm still waiting for my brain to sort out everything about RPM
I took in from talking with Jeff Johnson last week.  Feel free to pull
that branch and play with it - any help we can get is appreciated.
