No problemo. Yeah, I reran the rebuild command again and same
thing. You know I renamed the packages.rpm to packages.bak(don't know if I
was supposed to do that or not) and tried running the rpm -Uvh and it told
me that a bunch of dependiences failed. Are the dependiences that it is
refering to in the packages.rpm. May I ask what specifically you had to do
to upgrade to 4.01. I need 4.0.1 to be able to get full use out of my video
card and to play quake 3.
Thanks.....

Sorry Josh - I should have been more specific and asked did you run the
rebuild *again*, after you updated to the 4.0 version ? Does running
kpackage or rpmdrake give the same database error ?
I had upgraded to the 4.01 a little while ago and I was pretty sure there
was more than one RPM to install, not that it should be causing the problem
you are seeing .
