So 12.2 is a full biarch tree, both ppc32 and ppc64. Factory also had this, but
I am not sure it ever fully build through.

There also either is an issue with zypper dup doing a 32->64bit migration 
for either dependency or other magic reasons.

This kind of switch might cause RPM not to work :/

So the switch somehow broke your RPM, likely by the glibc installation.

Does rpm still work from the commandline? If not, you will need to manually
bring a copy on the system and either update rpm to 64bit first, or isntall
glibc-32bit.
