I have seen this problem only when I upgrade/change any of the libraries use by "rpm". The quick fix is to go to /var/lib/rpm and remove db_*. This will force rpm to rebuild the db the next time you run it.

Not necessarily, I recall updating rpm program itself once and corrupting the database (Mandrake 9.2) or your hard drive could be going bad even.

Usually it gets corrupted because something writing to it terminated unexpectedly though. Hit reset during a yum update and that's the likely result.
