I think you misunderstood what I meant by that.  The
desktop-file-utils that is packaged with RHEL3 is version 0.3-10.  The
one you built with is newer than that.  But the newer one that you
built with does not appear to be available as an RHEL3 package from
RPMforge, so the dependency fails because there's nowhere in my yum
config where *I* can get an upgrade for desktop-file-utils.

Well, thanks for the attempt, but this is still happening:

Resolving dependencies
......Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package wine-core needs /usr/bin/update-desktop-database, this is not available.

Ideally you'd build each package on a virgin RHEL3 (or whatever)
installation with only the minimal set of dependencies upgraded no
further than is available via either the standard repository for the
distribution or via RPMforge.  However, I realize that's asking for a
tremendous amount of effort and/or a lot of virtual hardware.

Looking forward to being enlightened.
