The RPM database gets frequently corrupted, so it is impossible to instal or uninstall any package, or update the current ones.

It is the third time that I have this most unusual issue with openSuSE 11.2 since December 2009, and I never had it with SuSE before.

Fortunately, it seems to be solved through
rpm --rebuilddb
as root, but, however, I had to reinstall once all my system to get the package system to work earlier this year.
It is annoying and worrying at last. Thrice is too much!
I do not know how to reproduce it, and I was worrier by other issues, so I did not reported before. However, the recurrence compels me to do it.
This time the issue took place while updating bundle-lang-gnome-en and bundle-lang-gnome-es (bundle-lang-gnome-en-11.2-20.23.5.noarch.rpm and bundle-lang-gnome-es-11.2-20.23.5.noarch.rpm from the openSuSE 11.2's Update repository), but it could be any else package from any else repository, although currently I can not remember precisely which ones I had this before.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (See above.)
2.
3.
Actual Results:
(See above and attachment.)

Expected Results:
Not a fourth.
