Before you go through all that, do a few things:

1) ps -ax | grep rpm | grep -v grep
   Do any rpm processes show up?  Do they have status D?  If so, you
   might have a cron job hanging.
2) rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
   rpm --rebuilddb

If neither of those two help, then I'm unsure what could be going on.
It's working fine for all of my systems.  Maybe it's time you and the
other gentleman start posting hardware specs.
