Sometimes also the rpm database will become corrupted and rpm 
--rebuilddb won't be able to fix it. But if you can find the package 
that is causing the problem (for example, a package that can't be rpm 
-e'd), sometimes you are able to download an older version, rpm -ivh 
--force that one, rpm -e that one, and then rpm -e the bad package. I'm 
not familiar enough with all these db{1,2,3} formats to know why this 
works, but I have used this technique many times in the past.
