fixing corrupted rpm database
Anyone know how to recover from an rpm install fail? I tried to do an upgrade on a package, it failed and did a core dump, and now it appears to have corrupted the rpm database. Any kind of rpm command just hangs.
THanks,

Thank you very much, worked like a charm!
I would also like to thank the other person (sorry forgot your 'handle' and can't get back to the previous screen).
If I ever figure out how to split points, I would do that.

rpm --initdb
This will create a new rpm database. I advise caution before simply creating a new rpm database
