Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2017-09-18 14:32:22 CEST 
As root, in konsole or other terminal program, run

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
rpm --rebuilddb

The database corruption typically occurs when an update of the rpm database is
interrupted, for example by powering off the system while a package is being
installed.
