Ingo,
maybe this is a stupid/obvious shot in the dark, but don't the lines above
mean that the rpm program (expected to be found in the /usr/local/bin
directory) was not there?

You said in point 9 above that root partition is nearly empty: did the
/usr/local/bin folder exist? If yes, what is its content?
