both cases  4.8.0, and I'm sure I'm using the same buildhost in both cases..
there is only one available

The package contains a number of scripts for installation purposes. The
thing that triggered me to look at this was the /usr/bin/ksh which did not
exist. I'd fix that, but I'd like to understand what caused the change
between last friday afternoon and this morning.  (found some older versions
of the RPM, also built using 4.8.0, same contents, no dependency on /bin/sh
or /usr/bin/ksh )

Thanks for your input !
