I have not been able to replicate Lars' situation on a RedHat 6.* or Redhat 7.*
machine. (I run the commands with Matthew's systemperl rpm, and his
rpm works perfectly.)

Some ideas (to do at your own risk):
1) Possible commands to consider:
rpm -e --nodeps LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4.1
rpm -e --nodeps LON-CAPA-systemperl
rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemper-3.5-1.i386.rpm
2) Corrupt RPM database?
Perhaps your RPM database is really messed up.
Simplest solution is to back up your data and
reinstall with a new RedHat 7.*.
3) More information--
Read Edward Bailey's "Maximum RPM" http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/.
And try to hunt it down on your own.
Something strange happened on your system.
Regards,
Scott
