This is the RPM update on *RedHat* 5.2, 6.2, 7.0.  The instructions
point to the versions and the steps needed.

The following files are needed to start the process in the html-s:

rpm-3.0.5-9.6x, glibc-2.1.3-22

First Step:

http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-2001-015.html

Second Step:

http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-2001-016.html

Additional Advisory (much like your link with additional
correspondence):

http://www.execpc.com/~bgkuhn/linux/upgrade_to_rpm_4.html

rpm --rebuilddb is done as the last step.  rpm -Uvh (instead of -Fvh)
with the rpms also works.

Note: If you like -- you can backup /var/lib/rpm directory.
