I have a problem..
One of my machines (10.2) lost its installed rpm database.. So, when I
do a 'rpm -qa' it shows only 2 packages..
How can I rebuild it accurately?
You should have backups in "/var/adm/backup/rpmdb", the "Packages" file
gzipped by date. But hurry, it is a daily backup holding only a week, so
after a week the backup will only have your corrupted copy.

*sigh*
There are a bunch of gzipped files there, but I guess none of them would
be really accurate.
Would there be a way to "refresh" a very old copy, like unpack the
biggest one and somehow verify it against the actual packages installed?
