You will see this every time rpm exits abnormally,
in this case a segfault.
Good. That largely confirms that Berkeley DB is functional.
It works !
I see files into /var/lib/rpm :
Basenames Packages Providename Pubkeys __db.001 __db.002 __db.
003
__db.004
But I can't install a package :
rpm --macros /lib/rpm/macros -i 8Kingdoms-1.1.0-6.fc9.i386.rpm
warning: 8Kingdoms-1.1.0-6.fc9.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:

All package dependencies are parsed using libpcre.
You are failing to compile the pattern used to parse
dependency E:V-R into pieces for comparison. The segfault
is derivative from the failure to compile the PCRE pattern.
Which likely means that rpm is misbuilt.
What platform are you using? RPM needs either a patched
regex emulation if the external "system" library was
used for -lpcre, or needs to be built with the internal
PCRE libraray (which has the patch applied).
The patch renames regex(3) emulation symbols, is commonly used
on Debian and PLD, is not used with RHEL/Fedora derived systems.
Likely easiest fix is to configure the RPM build using
--with-pcre=internal
But you can also add --nodeps to disable dependency checking
if you just want to see some package install.
Again add -vv to see what is happening, or where an install is failing.
