There is a .tar.gz copy of the rpm source around. Try that.

I'd love to meet the moron who did this!
I got caught in the same trap AND rpm-3.0.5 gave the same error. I
gave up and decided to wait for it to turn up on the SuSE site in
their upgrades for 6.4 section - I did not think any Linux people
could be such morons as to wrap a new version of the rpm software
with itself - it should have been wrapped with 3.0.3 so it could
easily be upgraded. Really gives DOS and Mac people a good laugh
at our expense.

Stay well and happy
