Actually, initially, I did go to the containing directory and performed:

   rpm -Uvh *rpm

which resulted in the errors I have previously mentioned.  The additional
info I supplied, showing an attempt to install the offending package on an
individual basis, was something I did *after* the initial failure.

Any other ideas on this problem?

Thank you for your help.
