If this happens to be on RH9, do check the RH knowledge base (and do so if it is 
any other version). There are various items about it. Follow them all. (check 
'up2date' and the combination "'up2date' and 'RH9'".

The root of most evil is the combination of rpm and the used database. I needed 
a manual update of both of them to resolve the problem. Its discussed in one of 
the articles.
