	I think you may have stumbled across what
is beginging to look like a hard to reproduce
rpm bug.  jbj is cc'ed. 

	He might be able to provide more info,
but if you could grab a copy of that rpm db and
set it aside for the moment, that might be useful.
If it's like the other cases, at some point, it
will start working again. Yeah, I know, that
sounds weird, but thats the MO I've seen so
far (weird bogus conflicts start happening
and then at some point, stop happening
with no as of yet discernable triggers as 
to the cause).

	Maybe jbj can help more...
