   Hmm.  I am getting old.  I downloaded from the rpm site (Not RedHat's 
site) and then installed.  the install failed because of popt. and 
rpm-python, and maybe rpm-devel.  I certaintly think I would have picked 
up rpmbuild (or removed it).

  That being said, you may be right.  However, the directory I downloaded 
my files to that day doesn't have rpmbuild in it.  I'm puzzled right now.
Unless rpm.org did not have that dependency that day.

  Wait, I remember someone doing a -R on rpm

[root at rh80 t]# rpm -qpR  rpm-4.1.1-1.8x.i386.rpm

popt = 1.7.1

  So, the rpmbuild was not required....right????
