Yes! Thankyou! And what do I see in the script? A commented out "echo" that would have told me I had both Packages and packages.rpm database files, and that I had to delete the one I didn't want. Why the heck was this commented out? Silly beggars. So after a lengthy --rebuilddb I can now install the security upgrade properly. Hoo-bleedin'-ray!
