I have recovered from the crash or whatever it was ...
I could only partly follow ur guidance bcoz "rpm -Va" was too much to handle. Problem was manpages not opening in rescue mode, so I gave up that route.
What worked was "reinstall libpcre, libacl and db4" although reinstall also didn't go smoothly, I had to chroot-exit, ctrl-c, ctrl+alt+del and reset (hardware) quite a few times and finally after 3-4 reboots I am writing this in Mozilla-Firefox.
There are new questions now, but I will post them on list - this is purely for thanking you to have helped solve this problem.
Thanks Jeff.

First verify that everything is intact or get a list of the errors.
"rpm -Va" should give a list of things that are not exactly as
originally installed. The code in the first 8 columns tells what is
different. Man rpm to get the details on the Verify option.
Look at the output carefully. Many files get changed for configuration
and just because they are listed in the output of "rpm -Va" does not
mean they are necessarily bad.
Reinstall pcre, libacl, db4, db4-devel and any others that show as
corrupted. The install process should redo the necessary links and/or
replace any corrupted files.
The command "yum install pcre libacl db4\*" should do the trick.
