What happens if you do rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.1/RPM-GPG-KEY and then do rpm --rebuilddb -vv I predict that the damaged header will be detected and dropped.
no luck with this.
No luck with --import or same problem? If same problem, give me a pointer to a tarball cd /var/lib tar czvf /tmp/rpmdb-84927.tar.gz rpm and I'll take a look.
the --import seemed to succeed, although it left stale locks (as rpm does every time) and the segfault still happens.
Your rpmdb looks fine, all headers verify when pubkeys are imported, so i'm looking for a different cause. (most segfaults in rpm are caused by bad data). Can you attach an strace and a backtrace from gdb? Thanks..

Is there some way of either rebuilding the database by hand or manually installing a new version of the rpm tool so that I can get it working? My system is a state of total disaray... KDE has been half upgraded and no longer works.
This idicates that you are not running nscd. Can you start nscd by doing (as root) /sbin/service nscd restart 12829 socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 7 12829 connect(7, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12829 close(7) = 0 Yes you can reinstall rpm manually using rpm2cpio. If all the rpm packages (don't forget popt) are in /var/tmp, the following commands will reinstall rpm: mkdir /var/tmp/xxx cd /var/tmp/xxx for pkg in ../*.rpm do rpm2cpio $pkg | cpio -dim done find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; tar cf - . | (cd /; tar xvf -) The database can be checked using db_verify from the db4-utils package, and can be rebuilt using db_dump/db_load. Details at http://www.rpm.org somewhere.

Can you try copying the file to a local disk and install from there? Also, can you run with -vv options so that I can guess better what is happening? Thanks
Created attachment 90547 [details] strace with -vv
the files are on a local disk. i tried copying them to /tmp, but this made no difference.
upgrading to rpm 4.2 seems to have fixed the problem.
Good, at least something worked. Dunno what the original problem is/was, glad to hear that rpm-4.2 works for you.
I think this is the same as Bug #85479 and Bug #86197. It happened to me when upgrading to glibc-2.3.2 without upgrading to rpm-4.2 and nscd-2.3.2. Pretty much the same solution: manually upgrade nscd and rpm, then officially upgrade nscd and rpm to get the database up to speed.
