Yes. 1 step (and 2 options):

1. If you're using Redhat 6.x - install Aduva Manager from www.aduva.com - 
this will take care of your rpm 3->4 problem automatically.

2. Install RPM 3.0.5-9 - I did it and didn't have any problems with it on 4 
machines so far.

Ok, here is a clue: rpm --rebuilddb

It's that simple :)
