Hi Steve!

Problem solved, see my reply to seth who kindly pointed me to bugtraq, 
no reboot until now, but soon and I'll carefully check the outcome. The 
strange thing about those misterious deleting of __db* files, those are 
fresh in place after --rebuilddb, but rpm works again as designed.

Probably have to read up the rpm sources to get more info what those 
__db* files really are about.
