It worked.

Removing supermount made RPM work ok again.  And it also made the Citrix
ICA client work ok when I have mapped local drives (eg C:\ on the NT system
was my home directory on the Linux system).   So by by supermount.  I will
start using you when you do not mess  up my system

I think this problem is relative to the supermount bug. Try to comment
the /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/floppy lines in your /etc/fstab and then run rpm
-i your_package.rpm. It solved the problem on my box, i had to remove
the supermount option for these devices.

To see what rpm is doing, type "strace rpm -i something.rpm" as root.
