It seems that somehow the rpm database became corrupted.

Try stopping the build process at various stages and enter the chroot to
see if the database is still good.

If everything else fails, I'd try building an upstream olpc-os image to
see if the problem is specific to Dextrose. I'd also try asking dsd and
pbrobinson... they may have seen problem this before.
