Description of problem:

After performing updates and installing new files, the RPM database for lack of better words, broke. Software Manager insists on updating RPMDrake related rpms including rpm-4.9.1.3-1.mga2.x86_64 after needing to perform the following commands in konsole

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/_*
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/.rpmlock (and for good measure since forums mentioned different solutions - rm -f /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock)
rpm --rebuilddb
urpmi --auto-update

Attempt to repair the RPM DB which broke after a system update by performing the following commands in terminal

rpm --rebuilddb
urpmi --auto-update

And I guess you have two "rpm" packages installed so remove the old one and it should be ok
