Can you append output from readelf --symbols /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.2.so Thanks.
Created attachment 94121 [details] Output of 'readelf --symbols' Here you are, I hope this helps.
The readelf output indicates the librpmdb-4.2.so is corrupted (which explains the relocation error). How the file got corrupted is unknown. Reopen if the problem still exists.
