error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 838 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 30c9ecf8

[Naheem Zaffar]

I checked in /var/lib/rpm

the __db.* files do not exist. hmm... but still cannot do -rebuilddb

Just searched for the files; when I try to delete the files from the
search; it says 'could not move '__db.001' The Document does not
exist'.

The var/lib/rpm Folder has the permissions: drwxr-xr-x 755 file owner: rpm

PS tried to get all such posts into 1 thread, but the replies stopped,
so reposting here. sorry.
