These are packages that come from repositories that you don't have
active anymore.
I thought about trying to erase the old package and install fresh, but
the first thing that comes up is that there are other packages
(kdenetwork) that depend on rdesktop. This already leads me to believe
that proceeding this way will not work, since rdesktop not the entire
problem but only one example, but for diagnostic sake I thought I
could take one more step, and so tried "rpm -e rdesktop kdenetwork",
and the output from that is another weird error:
There is a response to another thread on the list that deals well with
this. You can read it here.

The fact that your root fs was corrupted makes all of the above beside
the point. Is it possible your hard disk is failing?
