Something yum seems to do about every 3rd time I run it via the > yumex gui. I can't say that I've ever had yum screw the RPM database up, but I have had yumex get itself into a tangle (the RPM database was fine, but it took some effort to knock yumex out of its stupidity before I could carry on doing anything related to RPM), but I have had that yum-updatesd thing that runs after the initial install of FC6 screw up RPM royally. I'm not sure whether I'd class that as a RPM fault (it shouldn't screw up, no matter what's using it), a YUM fault (if it's involved with yumex or yum-updatesd), or just down to those extra applications in themselves. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
