gnorpm no longer starts after upgrade from default RPM 3.0.4 to rpm 4.0.2

How Reproducible: 100% - gnorpm simply wont start EVER after upgrading
as perinstructions to rpm 4.0.2


Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade rpm 3.0.4 to 4.0.2
2. startx
3. start gnorpm

Actual Results:  nothing happens except error message on ctrl+alt+F1 page:
gnorpm-auth: error in loading shared libraries: 
/usr/lib/librpm.so.0 undefined symbol: ufdio

Expected Results: gnorpm runs ok like it did with rpm 3.0.4


Additional Information:
	I have upgraded RPM from zoots standard rpm-3.0.4-0.48.i386.rpm
to a zoot upgrade version rpm-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm
and it works fine.

The trouble is that gnorpm (gnome-rpm manager) no longer works.
When I start it there is disk activity then NOTHING!

Unfortunately I cant restore the old rpm because redhat instructions say
the new one irrevesibly upgrades the Packages file
in /var/lib/rpm. (i have not tried it though
because of this warning

I tried a newer gnorpm-0.9-27.i386.rpm (instead of the
original gnorpm-0.9-15.i386.rpm

---

I only wanted to install cervisia (a GUI for CVS).
This demanded to be handled by an rpm major version > 3.
Now I have a working rpm4 but no cervisia AND no WORKING gnorpm.

gnorpm reports this error which one can on logout from X:-

gnorpm-auth: error in loading shared libraries: 
/usr/lib/librpm.so.0 undefined symbol: ufdio

When I run the original gnorpm and look at the 
error log by doing CTRL+ALT+F1 

Can anyone say what I need to get gnorpm
going again short of a custom reinstall !!

The current version for RHL 6.2 is: gnorpm-0.95.1-6.6x.src.rpm

Please upgrade to this version, and if the problem does not go
away, reopen the bug report.  It should work.
