Okay, here is the problem: 1) I updated RPM from updates (up2date and apt-get) 2) Don't remember doing anything else to RPM after that 3) Used rpm -e to uninstall redhat's old mysql and related programs 4) Now, when I use RPM for anything I get "Segmentation Fault" How do I fix RPM? This is very scary because I am working on this server for entry into a corporate environment. If RPM is not fixable (from tar.gz source? which I can't find anywhere), then I am dumping this distribution like a bad habit because a single update like this causing system-wide disaster is scary as hell. Please Help.
