installation problem through yum

[Rohit Gupta <rohit.kgec@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recently installed fedora in our EE HOD (prof. SM) computer and We
are having the following problem.
I have connected the computer through local mirror and everything gets
downloaded, dependencies resolved. It just cannot install the
package.

[root@satadal satadal]# yum install vlc
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30975)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

startupconf.distroverpkg)

_getsysver
    idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg)
TypeError: rpmdb open failed
[root@satadal satadal]#

I also tried with the simple rpm  file.

[root@satadal Download]# rpm -Uvh fuse-sshfs-2.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
