I'll confirm this bug. I then shot myself in the foot:
rpm -ivh rpm-3.0.5-21mdk --oldpackage
I then decided to stick with the newest copy, so I deleted the old one:
rpm -e rpm-3.0.5-21mdk
Lo and behold, the old package got deleted, but since files were in common
between the old and the new, the rpm executable got deleted. Not nice...
Luckily I was able to ftp a copy of /bin/rpm so that I could re-install the
latest rpm rpm.
We do need a fixed rpm package though.
