RH9: newer versions of RPMs (with greater release numbers)..

Hi all,

I'm using the Add/Remove applications utility (at least it's called so in
the KDE menus) of the Red Hat 9. When trying to install Development tools,
it says openssl-0.9.7a-2 and krb5-libs-1.2.7.-10 are not installed, and it
doesn't know where to find them. While doing rpm -q openssl and rpm -q
krb5-libs shows that there are openssl-0.9.7a-20 and 1.2.7-14 installed
(note the release numbers). What should I do about it? And why doesn't RPM
recognise these newer releases?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I've been searching for the whole day, but haven't found any solution.

Maybe you try to install RPMs with special dependencies, packages not
from/for RH9? If they required exactly the other packages install like you
posted then they are definately wrong for your syste. Be more specific if
it is not so. Post then the exactly package names and from where
they come.
