Yes, that would fix the issue.  I suppose what is important is that it
is a change to the Fedora rpm format which breaks other distributions
ability to read/use Fedora rpms which doesn't seem to be documented or
announced anywhere.  Admittedly, I will probably have a better chance
of getting in touch with the right people on fedora-devel, its just a
minor annoyance.  Thanks for your help so far! (sincerely, not
sarcasticly)
