Update them all at the same time.  Put the rpm-4.0.4-7x,
rpm-python, rpm-build, rpm-devel in the same directory
and then do:
  rpm -Uvh rpm*
If rpm is given a number of rpms to install at once it is
clever enough to merge their 'provides' and 'requires'.

(You will also want to include gnorpm, kdeadmin, perl-Perl-RPM,
etc if you don't 'rpm --erase' them first.  :-)
