Thanks for the responses everyone.  The current version of rpm I am running
is 3.0.4.  I have tried upgrading/installing 3.0.5 and I get the following
message:

$ rpm -U rpm-3.0.5-27mdk.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
 libbz2.so.1 is needed by rpm-3.0.5-27mdk
 menu < 2.1.5-29mdk conflicts with rpm-3.0.5-27mdk

so I did a search for libbz2.so.1 on rpmfind.net and did got the following
message after trying to install the libbz2.s0.2 package:

$ rpm -U libbzip2_1-1.0.1-10mdk.i586.rpm

or

$ rpm -i libbzip2_1-1.0.1-10mdk.i586.rpm

only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: libbzip2_1-1.0.1-10mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed:

I seem to have got back to this chicken/egg situation again.  I am probably
doing something wrong, but what?

Will.
