In my continuing efforts to totally fsck my (originally) 7.0 installation, 
I've updated to rpmdrake 1.1-4. So now rpmdrake won't start; it complains 
"Error: can't build the groups list" and bombs out.

I suspect this is a consequence of an earlier error when updating urpmi to 
1.3-4, I got the following during the rpm -U:

reading /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.cooker.gz
packdrake: bad toc_trailer in archive file /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.cooker.gz
reading /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.installation.gz
packdrake: bad toc_trailer in archive file 
/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.installation.gz
writing /var/lib/urpmi/depslist.ordered
writing /var/lib/urpmi/provides
writing /var/lib/urpmi/compss

So. It appears I possibly need new copies of the hdlist.*.gz files and I 
certainly need a means of generating source data from which rpmdrake *can* 
build a groups list.

Help? :)
