And the latest version of that is?  url please.

I had nuked it by hand because I couldn't get past it in the bootup 
about half the time, the other half wasted 2-3 minutes, and both ways 
made megabytes of errors in the logs.  So rpm may think its installed 
(rpm -e wouldn't let me remove it), but its doubtfull & I should do a 
fresh install.  Maybe this time it'll work right.

6 months to a year ago, it was IMO thoroughly busted.
