rpm DB destroyed
 

I stupidly installed some rpms with the --force option :tisk: because they had so many missing dependancies, I know I shouldint have.

Anyway, the rpm database in now missing the entry to every rpm installed, completely blank. I have tried rpm --rebuilddb numerous time s but this has not fixed it.

What can I do??

Thanks for the help.

Delete the old database by doing:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*

then do:

rpm --rebuilddb

Thanks for the response, but it didint work. I guess the backup is screwed too.

Can't anyone help me out here?
