ERROR: database disk image is malformed in Fedora 17

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

Thankyou very much for this post; I just had the same problem (XFCE spin, by the way), and yours was the first search result to provide the solution.
