What does "rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3" give you? Alternatively, you can query to-whom libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 belongs by "rpm -qf /full/path/to/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3". Might this lib be unrelated to any RPM? I don't know how to make RPM's DB aware of this. IMHO, it sounds like a bad idea. I think you can --force an installation (not too good-an-idea either). Extracting scriptlets is possible by "rpm -qp --scripts" the RPM file. This was discussed here in the past, I believe.
