Try the following shell script.  It might give you a clue if one or more of your packages
are not installed correctly.

#!/bin/sh

for R in `rpm -qa`
do
	echo rpm -vV $R
	rpm -vV $R
	echo Done
done


OR
guessing that libtinfow.so.5 would normally be installed in either /lib or /usr/lib
try:
rpm -qf /lib/libtinfow.so.5
rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtinfow.so.5

and see if one of them tells you wich package this library is meant to be part of.

Have fun,
