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.
