This error is not specific for Driverloader, but it is specific for the RPM 
system. It seems YaST broke your RPM database.
Try the following in the shell (as root)
* rpm -e driverloader
* rpm -Uvh --force driverloader.x-y-z.rpm
if it still complains or does not work you can try rebuilding the database:
* rpm --rebuilddb
but I would use this as a last resort. Also read up on the rpm system in 
the manual pages ( 'man rpm')

hope this helps
