Hi!

First, this is a bug and feature request tracker and not a support forum. If you have questions about using rpm the mailinglist or the #rpm.org IRC channel on freenode is the right place (-> closing ticket as INVALID).

To answer tyour question: Linux typically comes as a bundle of the very most software called a "distribution". You should use the rpm version that comes with the distribution (version) you are using. If it ships rpm-4.4.2 it is probably pretty old and you should check if there is a newer release. In general you have a better chance for good answers for questions like this at the users' mailing list, support forum or IRC channel of the distribution you are using - especially wtr available updates and and why a special version of a program is included.
