I did update the rpm port. Even after deinstalling rpm 3.06 and installing
rpm 4 instead the problem remained.

All linux ports caused that error.

With a little help from Google I found that this is due to a kernel bug
which was fixed in a later version.

So I decided to update my system for the first time. ;-) It went really
smooth and I'm running 4.11 STABLE now. :-)

And the problem is gone.
