If you are getting these from f11 alpha/rawhide packages, that just means 
you need to update rpm (eg. to rpm-4.6.0-11.fc11 or rpm-4.6.0-1.fc10) 
because the file digest changed and you need a recent version of rpm to 
handle the new hashing.
If you are getting it from Fedora 10 or Fedora 9 packages then that is a 
bug you should report.
