Try:

rpm -Uvh webmin-1.160-1.noarch.rpm

If it doesn't work, you may have been bitten by the RPM lock file bug 
that plagued RH9 (yes, it is Redhat 9, not 9.0).

I can't remember off-hand how to fix it, it was something like kill all 
RPM instances, remove some files that ended in 'db' and do a rebuild on 
the RPM database.

A google search may bring up the steps required as this was very prevalent.
