Hello all,
I have a problem with rpm command. When I give rpm command it gives error as below.

[root@thinkpad root]# rpm -qa
FATAL: kernel too old
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Accutually i wanted to install acroread on my system. It depedence on gtk+2.8 package. So I updated that package using urpmi. It downloaded some pacakges and installed it. After that when I tried rpm command it gives error. Since it is giving kernel error, I still not rebooted the laptop. Before rebooting i want to solve that problem. So please help me.
