It doesn't seem to be that in your case. Looks like some problem with file corruption. Please reinstall rpm.rte (checkout the recent ones) and try the steps again.

Looks like the rpms are not updated for sometime in the machine ( dnf still uses python3.7 ? ). Please try the below commands.
mv /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpmio.so /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpmio.so_orig
ar -p /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpmio.a librpmio.so.9 > /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpmio.so
dnf update
mv /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpmio.so_orig /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpmio.so
