I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish here... Are you trying
to update your RHL 4.2 system with RHL 5.x rpms? Unless you use SRPMs and
rebuild them, it won't work. Another question would be whether you've
already upgraded your rpm to the latest version - if not, I'd recommend you
do that first.
