Try to rebuild the rpm database with "rpm --rebuilddb".  It is very likely
that you have screwed up your database with the kill -9.  If that doesn't
help, I hope you have a backup of your database. :-(

If "rpm --rebuilddb" also crashes or takes more than one hour, your
database is definitely corrupted.
