I my cases, sometimes rebuilding helped, but sometimes even this failed.
In those cases, I saw a very low level error messages, referring to some
"db corruption". Unfortunately I did write them down :(

However, sofar rebooting has always "magically" resolved this issue.
Makes me think about something very low level might have been broken
(filesystem, some low level locks, kernel, memory leaks?).
