xymon-client repo install broken also?

After hand-repairing a broken repo install of xymon on a new prototype
xymon server, I just attempted a xymon-client install on a prototype
client. That was broken, too. Am I doing something wrong, or is the rpm
just hosed? This is a fully updated RHEL5 system. Like the server
install, the xymon-client install blew up with a rename error and left the
already unpacked files in place but with no trace of xymon in the rpm
database. I guess I can clean up by pulling a file manifest from the rpm.
Here's what happened:
