There is an update (or test update) of libdb for F25 that, when installed, breaks the rpm database because it is incompatible. The dnf update completes, and then hangs (at least it did on my system). The fix is to remove the old rpm databases (this might be optional), and rebuild the rpm databases. rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00? # optional? rpm --rebuilddb
That's not deleting the RPM database, just removing temporary files that rpm uses.
I did a reboot to sync everything that uses libdb (anything that uses the Berkeley db). It might be possible just to restart affected applications if that isn't an option. That worked for my mail client before I rebooted.
A reboot would be recommended, but restarting any affected applications should be sufficient.
