I am geting this error whe trying to install rpms in RH 8. It is a fresh
install. Is this related to the bug where rpm hangs while installing new
rpms ?

---------------------------
rpmdb: region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30981) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error,
run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30981)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
---------------------------

how do I run this database recovery ?

Surprisingly, I am able to install one rpm. This error only pops up when I
try to install the second one. A reboot seems to cure the problem and I am
able to install one rpm but the error crops up as soon as I try to install
the second one.
