It's supposed to reinit the db itself if rpm detects it's corrupted.

As it doesn't seem to be working, try running (as root)
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00?

and, if that alone isn't enough, additionally run (as root):
  

   rpmdb --rebuilddb

Unfortunately, Carl, Mageia 5 is no longer maintained, so we need to close this report as OLD.

Please ask in the forums for help if you still have issues installing Mageia 6.

Maybe one of the just released Mageia 6.1 LiveDVDs works better for you?
