The yum db just killed itself on my x86_64 fc5 box.

I then found some advice via google to rebuild the db so I did:
/bin/rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
rpm --initdb
rpm --rebuilddb
chown rpm:rpm /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
That sort of got things hobbling along, but now livna doesn't work.

It looks like the "fc5" that goes between "fedora" and "x86_64" is
missing. I take it some part of the db didn't get totally rebuilt?
Do I need to somehow stuff the "fc5" release name into the db by hand?
Is your fedora-release package still OK?
$ rpm -qi fedora-release
