I think you mean "rpm*" there.

Dunno.  It sounds like Red Hat didn't build the RPMs correctly.  I'd see
if the RPMs made it into the cache on your system (/var/spool/up2date).
If so, then try a manual RPM command:

	rpm -Fvh bind*.rpm net-snmp*.rpm rpm*.rpm

By specifying the suspect items on the command line, rpm can do a better
job of resolving dependencies.

If it still complains, call Red Hat or bugzilla the problem.
