I'm on 7.1 as well & just completed my rpm upgrade to that same version.
I went to the rpm ftp site where they keep all their previous versions.
Do an incremental upgrade - and don't worry about using RH versions in
between. I believe there were 2 (maybe 3 at the most) steps before
getting to the 3.0.5-27. Along the way I added a libbzip2 pkg which
includes the needed libbz2 file & didn't require upgrading that pkg as
well - which would carry other dependency issues. The whole thing took
less than an hour over a 56k dialup. Believe me, it's well worth the
effort to get to that version of rpm.
