Sorry, missed that.

We have now been able to reproduce your symptoms here when you use -F with the 
4.4 rpm and an earlier version of Radiator has previously been installed.

This seems to be caused because the Serial tag has been removed from the 4.4 
rpm spec. The Serial tag is now obsolete in rpm spec files and is not 
recognised. Seems a side effect is that rpms with spec files that have a 
Serial cannot be freshened by a rpm that does not have a Serial. :-(

You can use the -U flag instead to upgrade to a later version.
We will add the Epoch tag to the spec file for the next release.

Cheers.
