Re: RPM error
You can look for a process thats doing that or boot the box. That usually fixes locks. If the file is gone, you need to restore it.

Re: RPM error
Reboot the box.
Second: if it still does not work, you may need to reinstall the operating system.
Third: Are you root user? Only root can install applications in general.

Re: RPM error
seems you do have a problem with your package database.
The best solution to this problem is to have backups. Save the current contents of the RPM direcotry, apply your latest backup and you should be fine again.
Else rpm --rebuilddb or rpm --initdb could be
used to rebuild the existing or create a new package database.
If you go this route, definitly make a backup copy of your current files!
Attention: This means some or >>all<< of your current list of installed applications will be >>lost<<. You will be able to install new packages, but might need to populate the database with entries for already existing ones to get the dependencies resolved corectly again.
Greetings, Martin
