Comment 1 Michael Young 2003-06-05 11:36:33 EDT

Note there are 2 omissions on the page you refer to.
1. Redhat 9 always seems to give a (harmless) error when rpm --rebuilddb is run.
2. You should use /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify rather than db_verify for RedHat 9,
as rpm uses a later db version than is in the db package.

Fixed.
