Use rpm2cpio if you are trying to get rpm upgraded... Or get a copy of
the rpm source and compile it, for the first time: ftp.rpm.org
The following might work, you might want to back up /var/lib/rpm first..
cd /tmp
rpm2cpio [ rpm name ] | cpio -vid
./bin/rpm --rebuilddb
./bin/rpm -Uhv [ rpm name to upgrade]
-Rms
