Error is harmless. Do a --rebuilddb to create the new indices and the message will go away.
I consistently get this problem when installing a system out using an updated RPM repository. (kickstart install from a network share with an updated Redhat/RPMS directory) It seems to be an interaction with Anaconda and the new RPM-4.0.4-7x rpm. Could the RPM rpm be overwriting the one ananconda is building?
