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.
