i've tried trying to upgrade rpm*.rpm at the sametime- i usually wind up getting error messages like

rpm xxx requires librpmio.so.0 or rpm xxx requires rpm 4.0.2 (even though i have rpmxxx4.0.2 already installed on the machine, which is pretty weird)

so - you recommend uninstalling gnorpm

rpm -e gnorpm

and then installing gnorpm manually?  and then starting up gnorpm and trying to upgrade all the rpm*.rpm's at the same time?
