Thanks! That was it!
After:

$ mv -f /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys.off
$ rpm --rebuilddb

all is ok except of one error:

error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

But this error doesn't matter - I can install new packets now and update
the system.
Thanks!

Luke.
