THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT, INSTALL MYSQL, 
TO DO THAT I HAVE TO UPGRADE LINUXTHREADS, 
TO DO THAT I NEED UPGRADE LDCONFIG IT SEEMS, LD. HAS SBIN/LDCONFIG IN IT.  
But, this rpm cannot be installed, because it already is installed
(according to installation).  But it also cannot be uninstalled, because it
is not installed (according to Verify or install in rpm).  I am completely
lost.

I once had a similar problem, I was told to upgrade rpm.  I tried to
upgrade to the rpm found in redhat5.2, but it will not upgrade, it dies
with something like: "datatype 9 not supported". My redhat is version 3
with a few selective upgrades
