EGad! 5.50 is ~4.5 MB, 7.0 is about the same. 6.51 is over 23 MB
because it seems to have all of these foreign character support files
that I don?t need. Problem is that both gnorpm and kpackage refuse to
load the 7.0 rpm. The error is that "only packages with major numbers
<=3 are supported by this version". I don't know what that means since
neither balks at 6.51
