Hi,

I am trying to upgrade from Redhat 2.2.14 to 2.2.17
and was wondering if I need to apply the 2.2.17smp
patch as well? What is the difference between the smp
and the regular. I was able to install the regualar
but not the smp. It said that I my rpmlib version dependencies were off or

rpmlib(VersionDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by
kernel-smp-2.2.17-14

I currently have rpm version 3.0.4
does this mean I have to downgrade my
rpm to use this smp patch if I need it?

Thanks so much for your help!

Mike
