A revised version of the errata packge is currently in QA which fixes this problem.

The new errata should be available within the week. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Read ya, Phil

Meanwhile, instead of rpm -F or -U, you can do:

rpm -e --nodeps ucd-snmp
rpm -i ucd-snmp-4.2.1-4.6.x.i386.rpm

and it will create the correct symlinks...
