Cannot install rpm on Red Hat 9.0.

Greetings.

   I downloaded wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.4.0.7-1.src.rpm, built it and tried to install the resulting wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.4.0.7-1.i686.rpm. However, I am having problems with it. Note that when I try to install rpms of other packages, they work well without any complaints. So I am not sure if the problems I have experiencing are caused by the RPM system; I have a hunch that maybe the spec file has an issue with RH 9.0. Anybody care to comment?

This has already been reported and a patch for the spec file was given. It has something to do with the newest version of RPM needing explicit "provides" directives for the shared libs when they are debug versions, otherwise they are expected to be found in another .rpm or something... I don't have the patch handy but you may be able to find it in the archives for this list.
