I've been trying "rpm --initdb" followed by "rpm --rebuilddb" that seems to cover the vast majority of the cases but I wasn't aware of those commands. That might be another idea. BTW... While I have your attention... The Oracle Linux template worked well on Fedora. Will it work on other distros like Arch, Alt, or Suse which doesn't have a (compatible) version of yum/rpm? That's one of my major take-aways from Linux Plumbers, to tub thump the message that these templates need to be as distro agnostic as possible. I think I now have the Fedora template in pretty good shape and will be posting a patch for that in the next day or two (after reviewing your suggestions). Many thanks! Regards, Mike -- Michael H.
