No rpm, no sound, no zip, and no kdm image.

I can nor run rpm   as root. Whatever command I try to execute it prints 
the same statement.
Rpm seems to work when I start the system in run level 1.
In run level 1 I executed this command and it finished without an error 
but as root, it still
gave the same error. This corruption of the database seem to occur even 
if I change desktops:
switching between kde and gnome. There is some fundamental issue with 
FC4 that is
causing this to occur.
Thanks for your suggestion
