yum install got broken on Centos 8 (again)

[search4workingdistro]

Oh dear, oh dear... Not sure why so many people consider Centos to be one of the most reliable distributions...

# sudo yum install mc
error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 1225778/140423928347520 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30973)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
Error: Error: rpmdb open failed

Does anyone know how to fix that?
