    You *should* be able to upgrade your current rpm with the new one. 
 Please note that RH doesn't maintain the same version release with 
their rpms.  So, for RH 7.3, the current RPM is -8.11.6.23.73, and for 
RH8 it's -8.12.8-1.80.

    This does NOT mean that they're running an old version, they just 
can't maintain the same version numbers due to other dependencies, so 
they backport fixes to their own released versions.  Having said that, 
if you can upgrade your 8.11.5 to 8.11.6.23.73, you should be fine.

    For more info, please refer to
