I wish it was that simple.

rpm -Uvh net-tools-1.60-2mdk.i586.rpm --replacepkgs
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:net-tools              error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/bin/netstat: cpio: rename failed - Operation not permitted

This is the same message I get with --force as well.

Looks like it's time to reformat the / directory.  I was wanting to try out
the reiserfs type anyway.

Any preferences for Files system types?
