What the ____ does Fedora think privoxy or ftp have to do with rpm?? (Btw, "pine" here is just a text file of old messages I've saved about pine; and -Uvh instead of -ivh makes no difference, either, anyway.)
The *file* is there, but I bet it actually contains text along the lines of "Privoxy doesn't support FTP. Please fix your setup ...." instead of the actual rpm. Rpm notices it's not an actual rpm and treats it as a manifest instead (most likely because there's a reference to the rpm in the error message) ... and there you go.
