Sorry, all my machines' rpm databases are screwed up in some way and never got 
it to run without complaining. New version below should be fine.

When you type "yum update rpm" on an x86_64 machine for example, it does not 
pull in neon for i386, it only grabs the x86_64 package. So, I have 
neon-0.24.7-10.1.i386 and neon-0.25.5-1.x86_64 on my system. This is not the 
way I want my system to be. Both versions should match.
