Ah but it does work perfectly fine if you use yum as a frontend to your rpm 
(which I had been doing w/out realizing that this avoided the lock bug.  I 
thought that it was just a bunch of hype over the bug).  Since yum 
interacts with an older library, these issues were avoided.  Yum can 
install, upgrade, and remove (with deps) packages, so I hadn't touched the 
rpm command in a while.
