I think after rpm --initdb you have blown you rpm database away. If
you have a backup, you are lucky otherwise, I'd start reinstalling :(

About the segfault: If it were only rpm, I'd consider the rpm database
corruption bug, but since also wget is segfaulting, it sounds like
glibc corruption or hardware fault.
