No, there are no proxies between this box and the Internet (and all the 
other boxes where the same problem appears aren't behind proxies either).

Based on what I'm seeing, I do not think that yum is downloading a 
corrupt sqlite database, rather than it is creating a corrupt database 
all by itself. I have however no definite confirmation of this and I 
would like to have one before filing a bug against yum.
