I was able to install sudo manually using the RPM command (rpm -ihv ), which lead me to get the idea to try to bypass DNF for updating any out-of-date system packages. It seems to be DNF specifically that can't operate on the RPM database without corrupting it, but after updating all available packages, it seems like it might have fixed itself.
I did a manual update of available packages like this:
# dnf update --downloadonly -y
# rpm -ihv http://mirror.steadfast.net/fedora/releases/25/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/f/findutils-4.6.0-8.fc25.x86_64.rpm
# find /var/cache/dnf/ -name \*.rpm | xargs rpm -Uhv

Yes, make sure /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to appropriate nameserver ip.

@pheitman @gbraad @Thnuder @ikky888 This issue is also present on Rawhide. After some investigation, I've found that you can fix the database:
cd /var/lib/rpm
shopt -s extglob; rm -f !(Packages)
mv Packages{,.orig}
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_dump Packages.orig | /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_load Packages
rpm -v --rebuilddb
However, it will not be really useful, since after the installation of the first package, it will hang and break the database. I was unable to run gdb or strace under WSL, so I had to use procmon from Windows to see what it is doing. In all case, it reads /var/lib/rpm/Packages, then creates the files until __db.003, after which it just hangs.
Since DNF is written in Python, I ran python3 -m trace --trace /usr/bin/dnf-3 install gdb and these are the relevant lines, right before it hangs:

I screwed around in the rpmtrans.py file, adding some more logging, but I could ultimately not pinpoint the issue. Seems like I'm all out of ideas for now.

Is it possible to run rpm itself with a basic package? If not, how about rpm2cpio? If rpm2cpio would succeed, it is unlikely this is related to the packaging extraction process.
It might be related to the rpmdb (Berkeley db library IIRC). At least it seems it can also occur on fedora24. I had a transaction that got killed (Google Chrome) and since my rpmdb is borked and useless. Every install results in a corruption or even refuses to start now. Will investigate a little over the weekend.
@RoliSoft, are you on an Insider release?

@kstange Running on the "Anniversary Update" or "Creators Update"?

This is on the creators update.

The Creators Update has a lot of uodates to WSL/LXSS, os it is likely this
got fixed due to a recent change. I haven't been able to verify it myself,
but I was also able to run software which previously failed, such as `go`.
I'll try this also soon... but likely this got fixed by the updates

Well, no. The problem (corrupted RPM database) occurred on a new root with DNF on the creators update if I attempted to use DNF to install or update any software. It only started working normally after installing the updates by invoking RPM directly. Thus, I'm assuming one of those packages fixed the issue. If that's not the case, I'm not sure how it could be fixed.

Confirmed still hitting this problem on the latest release of WSL in Creators release and Fedora 25. Thanks for the steps to workaround @kstange.

Hi, I encounter similar issue. After install the fedora, it does not have Internet connection. However the original Ubuntu is fine. Do you have any idea about this issue? Thanks.

@kstange: I found that applying the updates allowed dnf to function normally, except that the issue re-occurred after adding rpmfusion repo. I think it's triggered by updating something to do with repo information.

I agree. It seems like it's related to importing RPM GPG keys after some further experimentation.

This has been resolved in later releases of Windows (build 16196, current avail on Fast ring of Insider). Since we will be releasing an official Fedora on WSL, there is no need to further looking into this.
