I just recently inherited maintainership of that package.  Lucky me.

Ya think? :(

Right.  That might be in the libica2 package, but I'm not sure.

I recently asked IBM about that.  They said, essentially, "yeah we didn't do 
one for SP4." :(

I saw those same errors.  According to a zJournal article by Reinhard Buendgen:
"The CCA token provides secure key cryptography using the CryptoExpress CCA 
coprocessor. It requires the libcsulcca library to be installed and the 
z90crypt device driver to be loaded into the kernel. The CCA RPM containing the 
CCA library libcsulcca can be downloaded for free from 
http://www-03.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/pciecc/ordersoftware.shtml ."

It looks like it might do the job, but I have no idea if it's going to fix your 
real problem.

I bet.  IBM doesn't make this stuff easy for anyone.
