[PlanetCCRMA] how rpm sucks, let me count the ways

Hmm...

Lots of references to good ole quake2.

Of course ->

[root@ruined guest]# rpm -qa | grep quake2
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6

-uh, I'm not quite up to pleading for help on yet another mailing list
(yet)... and I somehow feel like doing a clean install of phoebe-3
might be a better way to test dependencies etc. BUT any thoughts would
be appreciated.

thanks,
ryan
