It's probably the dreaded rpm hang issue, not a corrupt rpm database.
In another shell session, go to /var/lib/rpm and remove the __db* files -
Then "killall -9 rpm"
You should be ok for awhile, but the long term fix will be to update the rpm utility itself, once redhat releases a fixed version.

Hello, While atempting to remove an rpm from my system with the -e option i have somehow corrupted my rpm database. When i now do an rpm -q to query a package, rpm just hangs. Urgent help needed! The last time i had this happen the problem was not fixable, i hope this is not the case now. Thanks. Dave.
