Sorry : comp.mail.pine, which I had spelled out a couple lines further up.

I'm not sure I understand the question. With plain non-ppc Fedora, you can
do rpm -ivh on the rpm from UW, get a dependency, and then do yum install
on the dependency; it does it, and repeating the rpm gives you pine.
Relatively trivial, at least, once you think of asking yum for the
dependency (actually two dependencies, which yum can install both at
once); but that doesn't work in YDL4 -- maybe those dependencies are not
written yet for ppc, or just not in the YDL repo??

I would be happy to see a plain rpm, like the one on the site I mentioned,
in any of the main sources of rpms, and findable by rpmseek (formerly
rpmfind) a/o freshmeat a/o freshrpms. If one is there, I missed it, or
it's just gotten there.
