Description of problem:
I started getting errors when adding packages after a clean 7.2 install. I tried
rpm --rebuilddb, but it segfaults. I downloaded the rpm update from the RH site,
but that does the same. I installed rpm 4.04 from the 7.3 disks, but the problem
persists.

I tried some of the other fixes such as those mentioned in 57112, and got rid of
the bad record rpm -qa was reporting, but I still can't rebuild my database.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.03 & 4.04

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm --rebuilddb -vv
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  lots of stuff, then:
D:   +++        162 findutils-4.1.7-1
D: adding "findutils" to Name index.
D: adding 10 entries to Basenames index.
D: adding "Applications/File" to Group index.
D: adding 12 entries to Requirename index.
D: adding "findutils" to Providename index.
D: adding 5 entries to Dirnames index.

D: adding 1 entries to Installtid index.
D: adding 1 entries to Sigmd5 index.
D: adding 10 entries to Filemd5s index.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Instance #65 was bad. Sorry I don't know what package
that was.

I've deleted instance #65, and done a --rebuilddb.
You can find a fixed copy of your rpm/Packages at
	ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rpmdb-65641-FIX.tar.gz
Download and install by doing (as root)
	cd /var/lib
	mv rpm/Packages rpm/Packages-SAVE
	tar xzvf rpmdb-65641-FIX.tar.gz
	rpm --rebuilddb -vv
and you should be OK.
