[Matthew Brian Hall]

This problem has been fixed, which is why Scott was unable to replicate it.
Lars was the only user affected (thanks again for your patience, Lars).

>  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.
