You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Question:
Specific assistance on working around this issue appreciated. Seems to me looking at above this problem lies in fact the installed libraries are more recent versions than the rpm package is asking for? In my short time usage of linux and Fedora in particular, I have run into this situation more than once. Older stable software packages have not been updated as recently as the libraries are being updated, and therefore are unable to be installed without some modification somewhere.
Compile it yourself from the source could be one solution I guess, but my learning curve is pretty steep already just getting used to *nix and not really ready to drift off into compiler land.
Got to be another way... At least to get the software installed. If it doesn't work with the newer libraries so be it. Uninstall and keep looking or move to an older distro if it is that important.
Anyway, really looking for a general workaround to this situation rather than specific to this software package. Although, I guess one would lead to the other.... Head hurts, after 12 noon, time for a beer.
TIA
