Your RPM database is broken, it usually happens if for example you shut the system down while it's doing updates, or force stopping a transaction with Ctrl+C while it's running.

This should do the trick: http://www.linuxtricks.fr/wiki/utilisation-d-urpmi#paragraph_la-base-urpmi-est-endommagee-comment-la-reparer
