apparently after rpm --rebuilddb the problem has been fixed 

Attached to this report you can review the packages that I've updated and the errors with rpm -Va
Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2012-10-16 12:39:22 UTC 
"S.?......" (meaning size differs, digest indeterminable) typically occurs right aftern an update because of prelinking, accompanied with "prelink: <some path>: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking" messages (see bug 204448 for related discussion).
 
--rebuilddb shouldn't affect verify results, perhaps prelink ran in the meanwhile, silently "fixing" the issue.
Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2013-05-21 08:57:04 UTC 
Closing as NOTABUG, there's not much rpm can do about the prelink issue.
