Heya

Do #strace rpm  -Uvh thatrpm.rpm and see where does it get stuck

Usually it's 'cuz package wants to update the files that are not in there (rpm 
db, etc) and are not used in your version of rpm
Upgrading to the newer(est) rpm usually fixes the problem. I had the same 
problem when i was using rpm from rh 7.0 to compile packages from 7.3 and 
they were all segfaulting on me till i upgraded to the rpm used in 7.3

Let me know if this helps :)
