Try this first
    rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*

Test with (as root)
    rpm -qa

Does that "fix"? If not poke me, and I'll tell you what to do
next.

I just ran into this, but I had not tryed to install RealPlayer (or
any other third party stuff -- just regular FC2 stuff from the install
CDs and up2date).  I did the "rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*" command and
that seemed to fix the problem.
