I get the same message on a Mandrake 7.2 box. The rpm seems to install
correctly however . Well not entirely correctly, when doing an upgrade
(rpm -U) the old version of the package is left there.
I tried doing the following
1 - backup /var/lib/rpm
2 - rpm --rebuilddb
That actually made the problem WORSE -- DO NOT DO IT, after doing a
rebuilddb most of the rpm database was gone, and left me with only about
1/3 of the packages that should have been present. Needless to say I
restored my backup and have been living with it.

Wish I knew.
What seems to be needed is a dump of the rpm database and then some
method to restore it. Does anyone out there know how to do this?
