I don't believe you've said what version of RedHat you're running. Also, specifically, what version of rpm are you running? "rpm -q rpm" would suffice. Assuming it's RedHat 7.x, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73198 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=565

Some more odd questions: Are all of your filesystems mounts (rw)? (just run "mount" to see) Before the next time you run # rpm --rebuilddb Could you check the man page for it? Is there a way to increase the level of verbosity? Sometimes, apps will allow for a number like "-d 100" to set debug lev
