Sorry don't know what that file that would be?  But thats not the problem
anyway....  When you install a "*.src.rpm" it dosen't get added to the
"Installed rpm's database" because it's not the "program" but instead the
source code and stuff you need to make the "rpm".

I built a couple rsync rpms for both the mips and i386 cobalt products and
you can find them here http://www.zeffie.com/rsync/ ...  Just rpm -Uvh it...

because it's messy, messy, messy.... using rpm you can better document,
build, update, remove, add, verify, and control your files....
