Others have covered how to replace the package, but if you want to
check the package to see if it is corrupted, you can run:
rpm -V <package>
or
rpm -Vv <package>
The first version will return without printing anything is
everything verifies. The second version will show each file being
checked, and will print .'s for things that check correctly.
