Hi, all!

I'm using rpm-4.0.3-0.15mdk.  Since yesterday, I cannot install any rpm
packages anymore.  The last thing I installed was talk{,-server}.
Running rpm thru strace, I see that it hangs at:

1915  select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)

Now, I'm no expert, so this doesn't tell me a thing...  But this message
is repeated over and over again in the strace output.

You can find the whole log of a "rpm -Uvh yodl....rpm" at
http://dp.ath.cx/~askwar/rpm-strace.txt (360k) and bzip2'ed at
http://dp.ath.cx/~askwar/rpm-strace.txt.bz2 (35k).

How can I repair rpm so that it works again?

Oh, rpm -q's (still?) work.  rpm -e's also kinda work:

[root@teich RPMS-COOKER]# rpm -e talk
error: db3 error(-30998) from db->close: DB_INCOMPLETE: Cache flush was
unable to complete
error: db3 error(-30986) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database
verification failed
