Try this first:

Have you updated any software package?

Re: RPM command is not working (Segmentation fault)

Thanks for your replay.
Issue is resolved, we have copied the (__db.001 ,__db.002,__db.003 files ) from usr/lib/rpmdb/x86_64-redhat-linux/redhat to /var/lib/rpm and reloaded the rpm database. Now the rpm command is working fine. Thanks a lot..
