I believe that Malte Starostik is the right person for dealing with this 
issue. I'm pretty sure the different is naming is difference between Mandrake 
and Redhat, but have no idea how to fix it.

And, while we're on it, I think it would be much better if  RPM are 
"officially" available (i.e from sourceforge download page). 

Lastly, this issue is not release show-stopper: the *spec file which creates
RPM is not in Boost CVS tree. Malte can make the changes when 1.30 is 
out.
