Try adding from the package which has some additional rpms:

Try doing the following as root:
cd /tmp
wget ftp://ftp-eng.cobalt.com/pub/users/jeffb/cmu/RaQ3-All-CMU-2.43.pkg
/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade RaQ3-All-CMU-2.43.pkg

You really want the 2.43 version or later there are a lot of known bugs with
2.27.
