do you have an existing version of the rpm installed already?
try:      rpm -q mirrordir        to see if it's there, if so, try:
rpm -Uvh [newer version of mirrordir-0.10.44-3mdk.i586.rpm]

rpm doesn't like to install things that are already there, am sometimes
doesn' give the correct answer when it runs into trouble.

you may need to try rebuilding the database and try again...
rpm --rebuilddb
