you're right. I forgot to remove atrpms test.
Note that I never do a general yum update. So my system should not be 
totally wrecked.

Sorry, I did the wrong ls.
The needed package does exist:

# ls rpm-0*
rpm-0-4.2.3-21_nonptl.i386.hdr  rpm-0-4.2.3-24_nonptl.i386.hdr

Isn't it a bug?
The problem is that I would like to use apt or smart, but I'm blocked 
because of that.
