Fixed in rpm-4.0.3-0.55. Meanwhile your rpm/Packages and my
rebuild log are at
	ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rpmdb3-45547-FIX.tar.gz
Do the following
	cd /var/lib/rpm
	mv Packages Packages-SAVE
	cd ..
	tar xzvf rpmdb3-45547-FIX.tar.gz
	rpm --rebuilddb -vv

Where can I get the rpm? I have come across the same problem....
Kpackage opened as simple user crashed,
rpm -vv --rebuilddb segfaults
