Install rpm 3.0.5. It can install rpm4 packages as well. You may use it to
install rpm4. Just be aware that you have to do a rpm --rebuildb afterwards.
Just to be safe, backup your whole /var/lib/rpm before rpm4 to be sure. It
_can_ be a somewhat hairy procedure. According to the rpm-list, there is no
reason now to move to rpm 4 unless you absolutely have to. If you just need the
sporadic rpm 4 packaged rpm, move to 3.0.5.
