A failing 'rpm --rebuilddb' is really a bad thing. It means, that the main
packages database is corrupt.

1) there's a cronjob entry that backups the rpm database every day. Check the
/var/adm/backup/rpmdb directory

2) you can try to use the berkeleydb tools to get rid of the broken entries:

# cd /var/lib/rpm
# mv Packages Packages.bad
# db_dump Packages.bad | db_load Packages
# rpm --rebuilddb
