Software isn't always installed via the rpm package manager. That you get
no output from 'rpm -q heartbeat' suggests it may have been installed from 
sources. You could try 'rpm -qf /etc/init.d/heartbeat' to see if an rpm 
package owns that file.

But really, in order to help you (and for you to help yourself), the 
version of heartbeat needs to be known. Find the heartbeat binary on your 
system and get the version info with:
heartbeat -V
