I don't have the rpms to hand to check the dependencies, but
what you say doesn't on its own point to a problem with the
rpm.
> Redhat Linux 6.2, I686 SMP

> RPM version 4.0.2

> rpm -U ghc-5.00.2-rh62-1.i386.rpm
> error: failed dependencies:

> ghc = 5.00.1 is needed by ghc-prof-5.00.1-1
This implies that you have ghc-prof-4.08-1 installed, and it
does need ghc 4.08. Similarly ghc-prof-5.00.1-1. Using -U
means update, and it wants to remove older versions of the
package mentioned, but it can't since that would break
dependencies for ghc-prof, which you haven't asked it to
change.
rpm -U ghc-5.00.2-rh62-1.i386.rpm ghc-prof-5.00.2<whatever>
ought to have worked, although you may need to do something
about having _two_ versions of ghc-prof installed (rpm -e to
erase?).
> rpm -i --force ghc-5.00.2-rh62-1.i386.rpm
That was a bad idea!

That indicates a bug in rpm! You should report it with
bugzilla. It's possible that this might have done something
bad to your rpm database :-(. Try rpm --rebuilddb and if
that fails, restore it from backups.
