Is  libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 provided by any installed package? What
does "rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3" give you?
Alternatively, you can query to-whom libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 belongs by
"rpm -qf /full/path/to/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3". Might this lib be
unrelated to any RPM?
I don't know how to make RPM's DB aware of this. IMHO, it sounds like a
bad idea. I think you can --force an installation (not too good-an-idea
either).

Extracting scriptlets is possible by "rpm -qp --scripts" the RPM file.
This was discussed here in the past, I believe.
