Check your friendly Red Hat mirror site and go to
.../updates/6.2/en/os/i386/.  You need a newer version of RPM (and maybe
some other things as well :-) ).

BTW: I'm using rpm4 on a Tru64 5.1A system here.  I had to make a few
changes to the contrib/redhat/openssh.spec file for Tru64 to work; is
there any interest in a patch for the official OpenSSH source?  Tru64
uses rpm for the "Open Source" collection CDs (although they use rpm3
and I had to upgrade to rpm4 for a lot of .spec files to work).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
