You are going to get the rpm database out of sync with what is
on the machine if you don't match the restore of /var/lib/rpm
with the rest.  Do any rpm operations work with the files
as you have them restored?  There were some bugs that were
fixed in rpm.  If your current setup works well enough to
install the update rpm for rpm it might fix things.
Also, sometimes yum will work when apt-get doesn't.
