This indicates that the current version of RPM doesn't like the version of
RPM that the package was installed with.  Try a different build of the
binary RPM, or pick up the source rpm (.src.rpm) and do
"rpm --rebuild whatever.src.rpm".  After some churning and possibly
complaints about -devel packages you may not have installed, you
should end up with a binary RPM in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS which EXACTLY
matches the components on your machine.
