Comment 3 Terry Hart 2007-01-25 05:32:03 UTC 
First PC was Athlon 64 3000 single core running Core 6 64 bit. Now seems to have
fixed itself? But now getting same exact error on second PC which is Athlon 64
3800 dual core running Core 6 32 bit. Strange? Both have 2 GB RAM and dual 250
GB SATA II 3.0 drives. Both also have nVidia 7600GS graphics cards with latest
nVidia drivers from Livna. Both were updated sucessfully with all latest
software updates earlier today.
Comment 4 Juan F Samper 2007-01-25 05:38:58 UTC 
There's a way to manually solve this problem (it seems).
Open the terminal and log in as root.
# rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*
answer yes to all questions (y + Return).
# rpm --rebuilddb 
# yum -y update
if the update through yum works, it should through pup (graphic update manager) too.

Now getting same exact error on third PC which is a Duron 1.8 with ATI graphics.
Something definately wrong here?
Comment 6 Terry Hart 2007-01-25 06:12:39 UTC

Deleted and rebuilt the RPM DB as you suggested. # yum -y update then ran fine. 
But Pup (Software Updater) still crashes and generates same error file?

Comment 7 Terry Hart 2007-01-25 06:25:38 UTC 
All three of my PC's now working again. Seems like if you just let them set for
about a half hour they fix themselves. Really Strange?

Comment 8 Miroslav Šimko 2007-01-25 15:16:24 UTC 
Since yesterday (after update of number of packages), I have recieved the same 
error as in comment #2 when running graphic update (or add/remove) manager. 
I rebuild rpm db as suggested by kalaka in comment #4, but I still cannot run 
graphic manager. 
From command line, I can run yum update without error.
I use x86_32 FC6 instead of 64bit.

Reply to comment #8

After rebooting OS, I can run graphic update. Seems there was some old 
cache even after rpm --rebuilddb ...

For me, problem is solved.
