Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-13 12:33:52 UTC 
Try installing rpm-4.0.3-0.57 from
	ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.3
A "rpm --rebuilddb" should fix your problem.

If that does not fix the problem, please reopen this bug and I'll try
to get you a fix.
Comment 3 Need Real Name 2001-07-14 07:15:27 UTC 
I've installed the RPM package you've mentioned and now if i do rpm -ivh or rpm
-Uvh it saids "error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm" and typing
rpm -qa shows nothing
Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-16 15:12:21 UTC 
Try "rpm -qa --dbapi 1". If that displays your packages, then do
	rpm --rebuilddb --dbapi 1 -vv
to convert from db1 to db3 format.
