I experiened the same problems. The way I solved it was to install rpm
via the tar.gz (from the www.rpm.org site) -- I built the rpm package as
the prebuilt binaries didn't work. After installing the new rpm
package, I upgraded my locales packages (noted it on an earlier post)
and then updated my rpm package -- everything seems to be back to
normal.
