My problem is slightly different, apparently. rpm -a -q outputs a nice long list of stuff. rpm -i gmime-0.6.0-1.i386.rpm hangs forever (well, 1 hour) rpm --rebuilddb core dumps with seg fault. In my attempting to fix it, its gotten different. Now, when I say rpm --rebuilddb I get: rpmdb: /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2466/__db.001: Input/output error error: db3 error(5) from dbenv->open: Input/output error error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Input/output error (5) That is in the window I logged in using. However, in the console I see: is_leaf: free space seems wrong: level=1, nr_items=81, free_space=4 rdkey vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format found in block 22236. Fsck? This is a bit scary, as this is a reiserfs partition! Does anyone have any idea how to move forward? Thanks!
