Yeah :( Sometimes the rpm system is annoying.

I will try to search more broad. Anyway - can it be a package that is 
needed for the elfutilities - and then elfutilities report an error when 
the new rpm version is tried to install. (I'm used to Debian where I 
never had those problems - but there is just a lot of annoying problems 
with hardware support ;))

Tried that - according the to the package search on rhn it is in the 
latest available version :(
