Scott,

There can be problems with mirrors from time to time - indeed there have
been discussions on this list recently of one such case.

However, in this instance, my comments were based on me not noticing
that the rpm in the Redhat EL4 directory was still at 2.1.1 (where as
Martyn has updated all the other rpms to 2.2.1) and you not specifying
which flavour of Redhat you were enquiring about.

All the best,

G
