	Someone else on a different mailing list claimed that this was
caused by an outdated version of rpm - I can't verify or deny this.  It
might be worth upgrading rpm.
	For the short term, or if the previous solution doesn't suit you,
just add "--nodeps" to your command line, and if that doesn't work,
try "--force".  _That_ should get it installed.  These are pretty safe to
do in this case as you do have a /bin/sh on your system, even if the rpm
database doesn't reflect it.
