This package seems like it will make its way into Red Hat 6.2.  It's in
the current Rawhide release, snarfed from Linux-Mandrake who snarfed it
from Debian (based on the changelog).

Of course, Rawhide is as caveat user as it comes, but it could just be a
reasonably small change to recompile it from SRPM for Caldera.  I
suspect it'd work pretty much drop-in with Red Hat 6.1, although I
haven't tried it.
