This is an upstream issue ... and one of the reasons why RH doesn't
officially support an upgrade from RH9 to RHEL3 ... since we rebuild the
Source SRPMS, we inherit that problem.
We can't change the packages in question since they will then not track
upstream after that.
If you have continued doing fedoralegacy updates after RH stopped
supporting RH9, it will compound the problem.
The mailing list has many people who have upgraded to help in the
process though :)
