Yes, you *SHOULD NOT* install packages from RH5.x on RH4.x . Do an upgrade
or take packages from RH4.2. /bin/sh is owned by bash-1.14.7-6 (or any
other) on my system. Use rpm -qf /bin/sh to know who owns it on yours. Use
rpm --nodeps if you feel that you do have something and rpm doesn't see it
(probably you should upgrade your rpm also, older ones frequently miss
/bin/sh or like).
