RPM says:

[eben@pc eben]$ rpm --version
RPM version 4.1

Maybe that's older than yours?

You can try extracting the files with mc, or maybe you can find them on
the net, or maybe some nice person will mail them to you.  I'd try them in
that order.

Ooh, idea.  Boot up a rescue CD of the correct vintage, and reinstall 
(--force if necessary) that package onto your hard drive.
