I've got the same problem. Rebuild did'nt work. In my case, the segfault was
not related to the rpm database itself, but to a corrupted Pubkeys
database...
I removed the /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys file, then launched a rpm -vv --rebuilddb
and the database was up again.
I do not guarantee it will work in you case too... be sure to backup the
file prior removing it.
