I have done this.. It didn't help.
rpmdb_verify didn't even say anything about errors.. but i did still
that dump/load..

-rw-r--r--   1 rpm  rpm  28983296 May  6 09:27 Packages
-rw-r--r--   1 rpm  rpm  32870400 May  5 21:55 Packages-ORIG

It only made the file smaller but it still does segmentation fault.

$ rpm -qa 
...
elfutils-0.89-2
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#     876 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID e42d547b
Segmentation fault

$ rpm -q yum
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#     876 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID e42d547b
Segmentation fault

Same here.. i made a bugzilla as the rpm guy at redhat said in some
posting with those commands..

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122601

And i think that this could be the same as:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122520

But hard to say..
