Umm: since rpm is not yet fixed, you still need to do the:

Oops, yes understood, thanks
#rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -Fvh ne* gli* rpm* sql*

To check:
# rpm ... -q neon
#rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -q neon
neon-0.25.5-5.1
To verify: {should be no output unless mod it to -Vv)
# rpm ... -V neon
#rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -V neon
(No output)
The message suggests that the pgp security key has not yet been
installed. I would have thought that this would be one of the first
that got upgraded, and I forgot to get you to list it.

Good, then you will at least have all packages available.
ps: Perhaps the upgrade ran out of space ? Also, if there is a lot of
third-party repository packages installed, you might get snookered
because matching updates for these are not installable while
attempting to upgrade the old stuff.
Theres enough disk space, and this system has actually been upgraded
over time using the CD's from FC1->FC2->FC3 with quite a few
customisations, which is why I really don't want to just format the disk
and install from scratch.
