Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-11-29 22:06:37 UTC

A rebuilddb with rpm-4.1 should fix, otherwise
give me a pointer (i.e. URL, attachments are size limited)
to a tarball of your database
	cd /var/lib
	tar czvf /tmp/rpmdb-78782.tar.gz rpm/Packages

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2002-12-03 19:19:36 UTC

Instance #128, webmin was bad. I deleted, repaired
copy of rpm/Packages is at
	ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rpmdb-78782-FIX.tar.gz
Download and install by doing (as root)
	cd /var/lib
	mv rpm/Packages rpm/Packages-ORIG
	tar xzvf rpmdb-78782-FIX.tar.gz
	rpm --rebuilddb -vv
Verify fix by doing
	rpm -qa
