rpm not recognising pkgs?

This is odd. I'm trying to install a package using redhat-config-
packages. This is on a RH9 box running 2.6.10 and rpm is broken; the
workaround is to export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5. I have no idea what
this means, but it's easier than actually fixing rpm. That's on the
list, and maybe will move to the head of the queue if it's related to
this:
In trying to install XFree86 development, I get this (I'm not interested
in the "doesn't exist", that's true and doesn't seem to be harmful):
[localhost bin] redhat-config-packages
* Core references package efibootmgr which doesn't exist
* Core references package elilo which doesn't exist
* depcheck: package XFree86-devel needs XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-2 (not provided)
* depcheck: package netpbm-devel needs netpbm = 9.24-10 (not provided)
('XFree86-libs', '4.3.0-2', 8)
('netpbm', '9.24-10', 8)
however...
[localhost bin] rpm -q netpbm-9.24-10.90.3.legacy
netpbm-9.24-10.90.3.legacy
[localhost bin] rpm -q XFree86-libs-4.3.0-2.90.55
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-2.90.55
Thanks for your "you dummy!" responses.
(Oh, I did rebuild the db)
