Can you attach a pointer (i.e. URL) to a tar ball of your datbase? cd /var/lib tar czvf /tmp/rpmdb-44098.tar.gz ./rpm as bugzilla attachments have an upper limit too small fro rpm databases. Thanks. You might first try a --rebuildb with a recent (rpm-4.0.3-0.37 is latest) version of rpm from Raw Hide, as many of the db1 corruption problems are fixed there.
