If you are still having the problem with rpm-4.1.1-1.8x on the 8.0 machines
or rpm-4.2-1 on the 9 boxes please bugzilla it with details so that JBJ can
track it down. There have been numerous reports of problems but AFAIK no one
has provided enough details for the cause to be identified and fixed. For
me upgrading fixed the problem 100%, but that is just my ~20 or so machines.

HTH,
