I've had similar and I believe it's to do with the /var/log/rpmpkgs file
getting mucked up. I've deleted it in the past and it gets created by a cron
daily job that does the following command:
rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' 2>&1 | sort >
/var/log/rpmpkgs
Give it a go and see what happens (back it up somewhere just in case tho').
