if you can't you should try to "rpm -e iptables" (and maye ip6tables or whatever depending on your distrib and configuration), then try "rpm -ivh your.new.iptables.rpm" another possibility is to download the iptables source and recompile, it's available at http://netfilter.samba.org , you should still do "rpm -e iptables" before doing the make install step in the install instructions
