Actually, it looks like the original rpm you were trying to install
wasn't compile for your version of Mandriva.  Therefore,
trying to install it's dependencies will be much more of a
problem than not.  Instead, I'd suggest finding a .src.rpm
for the original program and rebuilding it with

rpmbuild --rebuild filname-version.src.rpm

That will ensure that it picks up the dependencies from
your system (and links with libcurl.so.3 instead of
libcurl.so.2).

Cheers,
Tanner
