I would highly advise against upgrading rpm manually, there are far too 
many issues involved.

If you are trying to upgrade in order to escape the rpm lockup problem 
in Red Hat 8.0, many people have been using the unofficial popt-1.7-9 
and rpm-4.1-9 packages from here for many months with great success.

It appears that jbj released a new test version a few days ago.  It 
appears that these packages are for Red Hat 7.x and 8.0 respectively.  I 
haven't tested these myself yet, but it looks like they will work. 
Please me know of your experience if you try these.
