    I understand that AIX-rpm is a 'virtual rpm'. The way
    that I fixed this problem is by running the command
    /usr/sbin/updtvpkg. I just ran it as is and didn't
    pass any arguments to it. The command took a few
    minutes to run, but after it finished, the
    AIX-rpm-5.2.0.10-1 package had appeared. I guess the
    command rebuilt it.

    I got the information on this from my account
    advocate.
