I checked in /var/lib/rpm
the __db.* files do not exist. hmm but still cannot -rebuilddb
The var/lib/rpm Folder has the permissions: drwxr-xr-x 755 file owner: rpm
<Hey,
<Looks like your DB cache files or whatever may be corrupt. Before you
<do ANYTHING else make sure you backup your /var/lib/rpm
This is A MUST.
After you've backed it up, try moving the __db.001 __db.002 __db.003
files to a different directory and then try to rebuild the db.
I'm not really sure this is the problem, but its worth a try, since you
make a backup first it can't really hurt to try. And check the
permissions on those three __db files make sure they are set to
0644/-rw-r--r--.
Good Luck,
