Anything under <prefix>/RPM/PKG/* you can safely remove once packages
are installed. I've no clue why those files got copied there for you.
They just have to life in <prefix>/RPM/DB/. But because it's a single
box you see this, perhaps there was some build accident sometime. Remove
the files and ignore it unless it happens again.
