FC6 - rpm --verifydb reveals problem

Back in FC6.

After comparing the version of the /var/log/rpmpkgs file dated the 19th 
to the file /var/log/rpmpkgs.1 last changed on the 18th, the following 
diffs occurred, which is pretty much what upgrades were applied at the 
time. See attachment if it does not go inline.

It appears that the --verifydb error was not as damaging as suspected. 
Simply rebooting and removing the /var/lim/rpm/__db* file and running 
rpm --rebuildb put the system back to normal.

If nobody else is seeing this error, I'll leave it to maybe a problem 
with the disk. Development mail to root did show a problem with /dev/hdc 
on which FC6 is installed, though I was not asked to perform a disk 
check in either of the two versions.

Also, querying the actual database and comparing the sorted rpm -qa 
output saved to a file to the /var/log/rpmpkgs file sorted again but 
using diff matched up. Of course the .rpm extension in the 
/var/log/rpmpkgs file made all show up differently, though the version 
information was the same.
