RPM v5 and Red Hat's rpm package are not the same product. RPM v5
developer was working for Rad hat at one point, but when he left he
created RPM v5. Something like that.
Compatibility could be an issue is you use Red Hat rpm's with RPM v5.

Hi - my apologies for the premature send.
After building versions
1) 4.4.2.3 stock from dev site
2) 4.4.2.3-18 RHEL patches
3) 4.1.7 stock from dev site, and then finally
4) 5.1.9 from rpm5.org site
We appear to have a functional combination of RPM and YUM that is free
of the "%pre, %post", etc. scriptlet failure problem. Numbers 1 through
3 all exhibited the bug, and in fact 2 exhibited the problem even using
the rpm runtime on the command line.
rpm5 appears to handle dependencies differently, and we will apparently
have to make a much more significant system dependencies package. Also,
rpm -qa performance diminishes significantly when GPG keys are added to
the RPM DB (I have posted a question about this to the RPM5 list).
Architecture detection and naming also differs in this version, and
/etc/rpm/platforms had to be created for desired behavior.
We are still working towards a complete, polished solution but the major
issues seem to be behind us (although the GPG performance is troublesome).
Just thought I'd post this for the benefit of any future Solaris users.
