After reading that Bugzilla report, I am afraid to say that you are just 
unsupported.  Nobody bothered to forward port rpm2html to use the newer 
RPM API's.  Furthermore rpm2html is not part of the base distribution.

Given that many popular sites still use rpm2html, please ask around to 
see if anybody did that work.

ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/librpm404/
I have a hunch... does rpm2html use the rpm-4.0.4 API?  Have you tried 
installing librpm404?
