[root Samwise ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
no package provides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

[root Samwise ~]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
file /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is not owned by any package

apparently the rpm-db is not aware of this file

I admit that this is my less preferred option.

--force still checks for dependencies. I added --nodeps to make it work.

Sorry if I was re-asking.
As it so happen, the pre script failed, so rpm did not install the hpadu
package. So, regardless to the rpm problems the pre script was helpful
in debugging HP's installation.
