Yum problem


Okay I couldn't solve my problem with the rpm database so I just reinstalled FC3...so everything is brand new and error free

I proceeded to follow steps from a link left in a previous thread to set up yum...everything appeared to be fine but after downloading all the packages(I'm not sure if it installed them as well) I got the message.

Code:
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Test Succeeded
Running Transaction
error: db4 error(-30988) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: db4 error(-30988) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found

error: rpmdb: damaged header #553 retrieved -- skipping.

I then tried to re-do yum update and received the following:
Code:

Can anyone tell me what happened?

just incase anyone is wondering I was following directions from here

also for instance if I type
yum install mplayer (just as an example)

I get:
Code:
[root@homenet ~]# yum install mplayer
