ERROR: database disk image is malformed in Fedora 17

By
Got a spanking brand new Fedora 17 install, it looks a lot different from Fedora 16 on the surface which is a welcome change, quite refreshing actually. Tried to do a software update but instead got the following error message:
ERROR: database disk image is malformed
 Seems like my rpm database got corrupted for some reason but this is a new install on VirtualBox. Anyway, got it fixed by doing the following:

$ sudo yum clean dbcache

~ts
