Dear friends
I would appreciate your help with my rpm database problem:
I was been unable to get my RealPlayer to play Radio Free Europe from
its usual URL using Netscape. There is nothing wrong with RealPlayer
itself. It plays other stations and even Radio Free Europe using a
different URL.
However, due to the original problem, I decided to uninstall RealPlayer
and then reinstall it. But something went wrong with my attempt to
rebuild my rpm database.
I first did a
#updatedb
Then
#makewhatis
Then I rebooted
Then rpm --rebuilddb as you can see below. Unfortunately, I have failed.

[root@adsl-77-232-22 sher]# rpm -e realplay
error: package realplay is not installed
[root@adsl-77-232-22 sher]# rpm -q realplay
package realplay is not installed
[root@adsl-77-232-22 sher]# whereis realplay
realplay: /usr/X11R6/bin/realplay /usr/bin/X11/realplay
[root@adsl-77-232-22 sher]#
Can you suggest what I might have done wrong, please? How can I rebuild
my RPM database? Do they get rebuilt automatically eventually?
Thanks so very much.
Benjamin
