This smells like a damaged header in the database. What happens if you do rpm --rebuilddb ? rpm --rebuilddb and then rpm -i worked Hmmm, there should have been an error message complaining about some (damaged) header as well. FYI, the final release of rpm-4.1 on ftp.rpm.org provides slighlt more detailed info on the type of damage than rpm-4.1-1.06 from Red Hat 8.0, but either version will handle damaged headers with --rebuilddb equally well. |
