Nope: something is wrong with the package file sizes, even though I just
redownloaded it from ftp.redhat.com:

[root@kitch2 upgrades]# rpm -U --force --nodeps -vv pam-0.50-21.i386.rpm 
D: counting packages to install
D: found 1 packages
D: looking for packages to download
D: retrieved 0 packages
D: finding source and binary packages
D: New Header signature
D: magic: 8e ad e8 01
D: got  : 8e ad e8 01
D: Signature size: 236
D: Signature pad : 4
D: sigsize         : 240
D: Header + Archive: 169931
D: expected size   : 169318
error: pam-0.50-21.i386.rpm cannot be installed
D: found 0 source and 0 binary packages
D: installing binary packages

Anyone know what's really wrong?
