rpm not working, library errors?

Issue

• I am having rpm issues again on a newly built system. I am puzzled and wonder if it is indicitive of further issues. Here is an example of what we're facing:

[root@mybox rpm]# rpm
rpm: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/librpmio.so.1: undefined symbol: luaL_newstate

And I am not able to provide an SOSREPORT:

[root@lxrsbinoft015 rpm]# sosreport
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/sosreport", line 18, in <module>
    from sos.sosreport import sosreport, doExitCode
