Hmmm, are you positive that you are booting into fc4? Some of those
libraries imply you don't have the proper version of rpm installed, I
don't see how that could happen. What do you see if you do:

  cat /etc/redhat-release

and what version of rpm do you have installed?
  rpm -q rpm
this is what I get on a fc4 system:
  > rpm -q rpm
  rpm-4.4.1-22

as an example (for one of the missing libraries you report):
  > rpm -q -f /usr/lib/librpm-4.4.so
  rpm-libs-4.4.1-22
and then:
  > rpm -e --test rpm-libs
error: Failed dependencies:
        librpm-4.4.so is needed by (installed) rpm-4.4.1-22.i386

That's normal, you are just importing the key and rpm will not say
anything special about it.
