I had that problem on 7.1 also. What happened was there was a program
that did not terminate properly and had the DB open, so nothing else
could use it. Once I rebooted it worked fine, until I ran Red Carpet.
That did it again so I had to reboot, etc etc. If you ran Red Carpet or
a similar program, that may be it. Try rebooting, it fixed mine. I had
to reinstall redcarpet to actually use it and install RPM's.

Subject: fixing RPM database
I seem to be having a problem with RPM (Redhat 7.1). A few days ago it
would
no longer remove or upgrade packages, rpm would segfault. I just tried
doing a
rpm --rebuild and that segfaults as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Patrick
