rpmdb: Suspiciously high nelem of 4294967294 on page 0
error: db4 error(-30979) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database 
verification failed

Expected Results:

No error message.

Additional Information:
	
this could be corruption to the database caused by up2date crashing at some 
point?

(It appears that the files are successfully installed, but it is annoying, 
and a sign that something is/was wrong.

This looks to be crash related. A `rpm --rebuilddb` should fix it.
