Corrupted rpm database. Often this can be solve by issuing 'rpm --rebuilddb' as root. If that doesn't work, you will have to download a pre-compiled binary of rpm version later than what you currently have and use that in issuing 'rpm --rebuildb'. Check out my previous post[1] for details. Alternatively, you can copy the corrupted rpm database into an RH box that has a later rpm version and do the rebuild from there.
