Scratch that last e-mail... I was on the wrong box....

here is the correct info:

rpm-python-4.3.1-0.1
rpm ??? not installed, did a rpm -qf /bin/rpm
file is not owned by any package

????????  
I can do a fresh install, is you would like me to try to duplicate this ????

Here is what I had to do(or should I say what I did.. not sure if I 
should have done it this way or not)...

newrole -t sysadm_r
setenforce 0
rpm -U htt://....path to rpm/.rpm-4.3.1-0.1.i386
yum update

and it worked...
do I need to do a:

fixfiles relabel
reboot 

Or should is their a better way of doing this??   I'm still wondering 
how I got into a funky state, with the rpm uninstalled.. but /bin/rpm 
was still in place...
