This might happen if you updated from rebase-4.4.0 to 4.4.1. The older 
version could have corrupt addresses in its database, which would cause 
errors of the kind you've experienced. The problem would get worse if 
other packages were added. Although the code is fixed, you'll need to 
delete the rebase database and run rebaseall again as Marco suggests.

Cheers,

Dave.
