Incidentally, the RPM spec states that the version of a package is defined by the version embedded in the package, not the filename. The version being placed in the filename (or the package name, for that matter) of the package is only a naming convention. If you're not sure sure of the exact name of the package (as far as I know, the standard rpm binary doesn't support pattern matching on package names), you run the output of "rpm -qa" through grep. The -qa option lists all packages installed. Michael W.
