At normal circumstances the linux distridution file should be found at
some first (8-10) attempts. If it takes more than it's a sign that a
new distribution accured. But some sites just didn't update their
files so far. And reports (like your original letter) help us to keep
linux ports up-to-date.

Now the most recent compat-db distribution for FC4 merged to the
port.

Thanks for the report!
