Does "doesn't let me do anything" mean "freezes"? Try this, some of which you have not yet tried: killall -s 9 rpm cd /var/lib/rpm rm -f __db.* mv Packages Packages.bak db_dump Packages.bak | db_load Packages rpm -vv --rebuilddb rpm -Va Also check your versions or rpm and db4. On this fully up2date FC1 system, it is: rpm-4.2.1-0.30 db4-4.1.25-14 If all that still doesn't help; see Jeff on the rpm list. - K.
