Try the following:

        LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 rpm {options} ....

If this works, you need to grab the latest rpm-4.2 packages from
ftp.rpm.org.  Use the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 to get the packages updated
and then to a rpm --rebuilddb once the updates are installed.

This is the only way I could make this work.  There were mutiple posts
on google concerning this.

Hope this helps

Andy
