Thanks for this info. I had just completed a --rebuild on RH 7.1 and
planned to
do the same on 6.2, but I guess I'd rather wait a few days.

I have had bad experience upgrading rpm package a few times (the rpm
database
getting whacked and all subsequent installs claiming some packages to be
missing)
so I'd rather avoid upgrading unless I absolutely have to.
