Fedora 11 release. Major performance improvements, less memory
consumption, support for xz aka LZMA compression and several
important bugs fixes are part of this release.

You can update to the latest Fedora 11 version of rpm.
Using a Fedora 12 package : Not possible, I think.
But as said by @John VV , it's not clear, what you want,
or what you are trying to do .. or which tool / application / command,
you are trying to do it with.

P.S. : Fedora 12 release : 2009-11-17 .
