Thanks for the long reply and sorry for my short one:

rpm --rebuilddb doesn't like /var/lib/rpm/Packages but rpm -qi works. This is
the strace:
open("/var/lib/rpm/Packages", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
fcntl64(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
read(5,
"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0051b\0\0\0\t\0\0\20\0\0\t\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 512) =
512
write(2, "rpmdb", 5rpmdb) = 5
write(2, ": ", 2: ) = 2
write(2, "/var/lib/rpm/Packages: unexpecte"..., 53/var/lib/rpm/Packages:
unexpected file type or format) = 53
write(2, "\n", 1
) = 1
