Im in the process of these now, is there some way I can check to see if these packages have been installed already?
Or just install them anyway and hope for the best...??? ;)

If rpm is hung you will first need to go to /var/lib/rpm and remove all __db* files, then all rpm processes can be killed, and you can do the upgrade.
Kill all rpm processes... how do i find what processes are running (heheh task manager is my friend in w32...) there must be a simple command to list processes...or proccesses of a certain type?
In linux you can type "killall rpm" and "killall rpmd" or better yet, try "mysql_zap -f rpm" which will work if you have mysql installed. (With more primitive versions of unix you'd have to first use "ps -ef" to get the process listing, find the process ids of the processes you want to kill, then type e.g. "kill -9 <process id>" for each one you need to kill - but you can do it that way in linux too if you want to)
Indeed - rpm as shipped in RH8/9 is broken.
Get all the rpm version 4.2-1 package from rpm.org, along with popt-1.8-1, install them and be happy.
"get ?ALL? rpm version 4.2-1 package(s)??" What do you mean...sorry??
Sorry, geek shorthand - go here:
ftp://wintermute.toyota.com/fixes/redhat-rpm/RH9/
and download all files in that directory -
Then assuming you have killed off the hung rpms processes, do this:
rpm -Fvvh rpm*rpm popt*rpm
You must of course be root, preferably before you do any of these things
