I've got the same version of rpm on mine however I didn't encounter the 
same problem..... Possible corrupt binary on the rpm installer?
Why I'm thinking this might be the case is I've gotten non-sense error 
messages like this in such a case.  The system knew it had an error but 
really didn't have a message it could give me so it just grabs the " 
nearest " one.  (A recent attempt to build Mozilla on a FreeBSD box with a 
corrupt gcc compiler gave me the error "kernel not found unable to mount 
root file system"  even though I had been booted for two weeks already.)
