I have had to rebuild my FC2 box and tried to use YUM to update the

I've no idea how to solve your problem,
but it reminds me how bad the error messages in yum are -
if it works (as it does 90% of the time) it is a marvellous resource.
But if it fails, you can be sure the error message will be unintelligible.
The error above is not a problem with yum. It's a problem with rpm
having a corrupt database. Try this and see if it works for you.
cd /var/lib/rpm
rm __db*
run yum again and see if it complains.

I would rebuild the database first: rpm --rebuilddb
Hmmm, I've seen similar problems with corrupted rpm database on RH9 and
FC*, and rebuilding the rpm db without cleaning out the __db* files
resulted in a hanging rpm --rebuild. IMHO removing the temp. db files
before rebuilding the rpm db is the better idea...
Just my two cents
