Mandrake 9.0.  I was just trying to run a search for lesstif (rpm -qa|grep 
lesstif) and found myself waiting forever for an answer.  I then just 
downloaded the lesstif rpm and tried to install it.  Nothing.  It does the 
"preparing" thing but just stalls and never gets anywhere.  I then tried 
running "rpm --rebuilddb" and via gkrellm I see CPU activity spike up to 100% 
for about 10 seconds or so but then it drops back to background and nothing 
comes of it (from the CLI).  I do not get dumped back to the commandline and 
I have to do a Ctrl-C to get the command prompt back.  

What do I do to get rpm working again?  What file do I delete (database, 
config, whatever) so I can reset the whole mess with an "rpm --rebuild"?

This is on my Thinkpad laptop.
