You should probably use -Uvh as a default install of RPMs; I do. the "u"
is update; if there's no previous RPM installed, it does an install. 

What does "rpm -qa | grep rpm" show you?

[turgon@minas-aran turgon]$ rpm -qa | grep rpm
rpm-devel-4.0.3-0.27mdk
urpmi-1.7-14mdk
gnorpm-0.96-5mdk
rpmlint-0.35-1mdk
rpm-build-4.0.3-0.27mdk
rpmtools-3.1-4mdk
rpmdrake-1.3-106mdk
gurpmi-1.1-14mdk
rpm-python-4.0.3-0.27mdk
rpm-4.0.3-0.27mdk
grpmi-8.1-7mdk
