[LUG] rpm-4.0.2 under Red Hat 6.2

[Alex Charrett <chas at termisoc.org>]

I just game across an issue, updating a rh 6.2 box.  Its a bit of an
impressive one, so I thought I'd post the resolution to stop opther pople
getting stuck Like I did.

This is a up to date RH 6.2 box, that recently had the new version of rpm
(4.0.2-6x) installed on it.

I came to update some more packages and reviced this:

# rpm -Fvh *
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Thats *bad* I thought.

I'be had a hunt round redhat bugzilla and the solution is to rebuild your
rpm database to the new version:

# rpm --rebuilddb

And that sorts it.

Phew!.
