rpm also segfaults when trying to erase other packages.

already tried rpm -qa which is successful, rpm --rebuilddb which is
successful, and --rebuilddb after doing the hint in bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90268 about using
rpm2cpio to rebuild rpm. behavior seems pretty consistent, wondering
where to go from here.

thanks,

A --rebuilddb with rpm-4.1 or later will probably fix your problem.

Can you do that, using rpm2cpio as in #90268 if necessary?
rpm-4.1.1 packages for RHL 7.3 are at
    ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.1.x
Comment 2 Nathan Jahnke 2003-12-27 23:24:18 UTC 
that did it. was able to remove the orphaned packages without problems after the 
"manual" upgrade to 4.1.1. thanks a million for this final push.
