The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is
rpm {–initdb|–rebuilddb} [-v] [–dbpath DIRECTORY] [–root DIRECTORY]
Use –initdb to create a new database if one doesn’t already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use –rebuilddb to rebuild the database indices from the installed package headers.

rpm –help – as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it’s impossible to guarantee that what’s described in the manual matches what’s available.
