Do not know if this will help in your case but after a clean install of the Cooker snapshot ISOs rpmdrake would segfault during 'looking for installed packages' I was able to correct this by uninstalling, using nodepends, autoirpm, grpmi, gurpmi, rpmdrake, and urpmi. I then rebooted the system. I then installed from the same folder fresh downloads of autoirpm-3.1-4mdk.i586.rpm grpmi-8.1-8mdk.i586.rpm gurpmi-3.1-4mdk.i586.rpm rpmdrake-1.4-5mdk.i586.rpm urpmi-3.1-4mdk.i586.rpm using rpm -ivh *rpm rpmdrake now launches and runs without problem.
