I had a similar problem time ago, reported in bugzilla 225630. There was a
database problem upstream, outside of the rpm code, which I don't know if
was even investigated or solved.
What I did in the end was finding at what package the rpm command crashed,
then I forced removal of the package which install made rpm crash and
reinstalled it again, to force the database to clear.
