Thank you.  I did attempt to install the required packages.  Reading the
logs more carefully, when I tried to install the 5 packages from the FL site
I found the following couple of entries (among many) in the install log:

D: ========== +++ rpm-4.1.1-1.8x
D:  Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.2)                        NO
D: package rpm-4.1.1-1.8x has unsatisfied Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.2)

error: Failed dependencies:

D: closed   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Basenames
D: closed   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: closed   db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages

Checking to see if the needed package was there yielded
[root at email temp]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8

That, to me would seem to indicate that the needed package is there...it
must be something else that is failing the dependency check.  What am I
missing?  Thank you!
