never ever run a RPM packet installation if you don't know what it will do.
... example ... a RaQ4 with recent Security Patches show the following
RPM packages installed:

> rpm -qa|grep apache
apache-admsrv-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C4stackguard
apache-openssl-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C4stackguard
apache-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C4stackguard
apache-icons-pacifica-1
apache-conf-shinkansen-4
apache-devel-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C4stackguard
apache-mod_perl-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C4stackguard

all bunch of ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq4/RPMS/ is far OLD
with apache-1.3.12 wich has a some security holes !!!

if ever in need of some newer RPM get the package installed.

If this however not work you might SSH (don't use Telnet) in your box
as root user if you know in which PKG is the file you need ...
(in your way it is "Apache & SSL Update 2.0.1")

> cd /tmp
> wget
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/packages/raq4/eng/RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-2-157
87.pkg
> /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-2-15787.pkg

if this also fail (maybe uninstall it first with cobalt_uninstall) you
could at least rename it

> mv foobar.pkg foobar.tar.gz

depack it to a folder (temp)

> tar -zxvf foobar.tar.gz

or use mc (Midnight Commander) to view the content ;-)

now you could install an single rpm by

> rpm -Uvh foobar.rpm

but don't blame someone if you hit your box ... cause this might void
your warranty !

after all Notice:

RaQs with recent patches are running StackGuard protected binarys which
won't
work recently with Non-StackGuard files !!! Also you couldn't grab a
tarball and
build your own even to hit a "-canary-death-handler" error on compiling
cause you
need a StackGuard compatible compiler which isn't yet installed on a RaQ !
