It looks like the filename rpm-2_1_.rpm has been corrupted
because you downloaded it in DOS and then imported it into Linux.
Very likely the rpm itself is also corrupted during the same
import.
If you can't download it directly into Linux, someone else will
have to tell you how to mount your DOS drive so it will import
correctly.
