Do you have the rpm database locked by a zombie/dead/half-dead/forgotton

ones?
Also, rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* (after rpm processes are killed)? Then,
--rebuilddb.

I don't know what happened or when but I cannot do anything with rpm
except make simple queries. VERY simple queries. And I cannot do a
database rebuild either. I have been trying to install/reinstall all the
latest Mandrake rpm-* rpms but I cannot do it. At first, I tried doing a
[...]
How do I FORCE rpm to install an rpm regardless of whatever shape the rpm
database is? What if I delete the rpm database? What filename and where
is the database?
Help please. I'm screwed royal at this point. If one loses the ability
to use rpm on an rpm-dependent distro, one is HOSED.

Does 'urpmi' fail too, or is this just 'rpm' that won't work?
urpmi also fails to function. The commands I used from
http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon mostly failed (the sites listed either don't
exist or refuse connections). I was TRYING to get sites closest to me, as
many US sites as possible but almost all failed.
Urpmi and rpm are dead and useless.
