Thanks for the advice. Actually the problem was me being in a hurry. I know 
how to use
rpm, I just dont know how to cut and paste. In my excitement to use the 
wonderful new AG
2.0 software I got carried away with the mouse and pasted the .rpm 
extension at the end
of my rpm command. The result contributed to the rant you got to enjoy what 
seems like
several weeks ago. It is all better now, mostly anyway.

Cheers,
