Upgrade RPM first.
Then upgrade other packages.
Check at
ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/ for a newer package (they're in the 4.0.* tree now) and install. Please post back with any questions.

rpmcache
RPMCACHE(8) Red Hat Linux RPMCACHE(8)
NAME
rpmcache - Cache RPM Package Headers
SYNOPSIS
rpmcache [ PACKAGE_NAME ... ]
DESCRIPTION
rpmcache walks a file tree, possibly remotely using FTP, filtering paths using glob(7) expressions, reading rpm package headers. The latest
(i.e. comparing package epoch/version/release for identical package names and using the build time as a tie breaker) package headers, if
they are unique, are cached in an rpm database. The rpm database cache can be used to provide suggested paths to packages that resolve
unknown dependencies.
There are no rpmcache specific options, only common rpm options. See the rpmcache usage message for what is currently implemented.
The file tree path to be searched is configured using rpm macros. The final path is the concatentaion of 5 individual elements. Here are
the macro names used to configure rpmcache, in the same order that they will be concatenated to build the file tree path that will be
walked:
%_bhpath
The "path" level contains the leading part of the file tree path (or URL) for the file tree to be walked. No glob(7) expressions,
here, please.
%_bhcoll
The "collection" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhpath.
%_bhN The "name" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhcoll. The PACKAGE_NAME arguments are
used to construct a glob(7) expression that will match any of specific package names within the Red Hat build system, and are almost
certainly not of use to anyone outside of Red Hat.
%_bhVR The "version-release" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhN.
%_bhA The "arch" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhVR.
The location of the cache database is also configured using an rpm macro:
%_cache_dbpath
The location of the cache database. The default value is /var/spool/up2date/cache.
The cache database is identical in format to an rpm database, and can be used with rpm from the command line. For example, to use the cache
database to provide suggestions for packages that provide dependencies needed by a package install, the following macro should be config-
ured in either /etc/rpm/macros or ~/.rpmmacros:
%_solve_dbpath
The location of the database that is used to provide suggested dependency resolutions.
Example (minimal) configuration for a Red Hat beehive tree:
%_cache_dbpath /var/spool/up2date/cache
%_solve_dbpath %{_cache_dbpath}
%_bhpath file://localhost/mnt/redhat/beehive/comps/dist
%_bhcoll 7.3
%_bhN @(basesystem|bash|filesystem|glibc-common|glibc|ldconfig|libtermcap|mktemp|setup|termcap)
%_bhVR *
%_bhA @(i[3456]86|noarch)
Example (minimal) configuration for a Red Hat FTP tree:
%_cache_dbpath /var/spool/up2date/cache
%_solve_dbpath %{_cache_dbpath}
%_bhpath ftp://localhost/mnt/dist
%_bhcoll @(7.3|7.2|7.1|7.0|6.2|6.1|6.0|5.2|5.1|5.0)
%_bhN @(%{_arch})
%_bhVR *
%_bhA @(i[3456]86|noarch)
