Error is harmless. Do a --rebuilddb to create the
new indices and the message will go away.

Comment 2 Michael Johnson 2002-09-24 22:43:59 UTC

I consistently get this problem when installing a system out using an updated
RPM repository.  (kickstart install from a network share with an updated
Redhat/RPMS directory)

It seems to be an interaction with Anaconda and the new RPM-4.0.4-7x rpm.

Could the RPM rpm be overwriting the one ananconda is building?
