[syslinux] syslinux-tftpboot RPM fails to install

[Richard Doogan]

I've tried both RedHat EL4 Update 7 and EL5 Update 4, both give me the 
same problem.

3.82 will install no problem at all :

[root at rdoogan-lnx ~]# rpm -Uvh syslinux-tftpboot-3.82-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### 
[100%]
   1:syslinux-tftpboot      ########################################### 
[100%]

However, starting wth 3.83 I get the following issue :

[root at rdoogan-lnx ~]# rpm -Uvh syslinux-tftpboot-3.83-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by 
syslinux-tftpboot-3.83-1.i386

Here are my RPM versions, standard with RHEL5u4 :

[root at rdoogan-lnx ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i rpm
rpm-python-4.4.2.3-18.el5
rpm-libs-4.4.2.3-18.el5
rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-18.el5
rpm-build-4.4.2.3-18.el5
rpm-apidocs-4.4.2.3-18.el5
rpm-4.4.2.3-18.el5
redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-32.0.1.el5
