Others have covered how to replace the package, but if you want to 
check the package to see if it is corrupted, you can run:

rpm -V <package>

or

rpm -Vv <package>

The first version will return without printing anything is 
everything verifies. The second version will show each file being 
checked, and will print .'s for things that check correctly.
