[lug] where to get latest mount

[Rick Casey]

David,

  Thanks for the help; no has helped me out yet, so your late response is
still appreciated.

  But same old story: after running rpm --rebuilddb (as root), I still get
the same error message:

[root at rickcasey temp]# rpm -Uvh db3*.rpm
only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: db3-3.1.17-5.i386.rpm cannot be installed

Something very basic is still wrong. My rpm version is:
RPM version 3.0.4

It sure seems, logically, that I would need to build a new RPM from source
files, given my rpm version cannot install any of the newer versions.

Appreciate the help!
--Rick
