------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-06 16:17 -------
I did exactly what Quel Qun suggested and it worked well for me.
I didn't do any serious testing though - I just rebuilt the DB, did rpm -qa and
installed those few packages I wanted to.
But wait - I just read through my former comment and I read that reboot helped -
this is true. Does the system anything with rpm DBs during reboot/startup? If
not, and if DBs were really corrupted, how comes that reboot helped?

When I do "rpm -qa", the program would output several package names and then it
would get stucked.
I didn't build version with debugging information, though when I use "strace"
program to see what's happening I see that, when it gets stucked, it calls
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {timeout}) and timeout keeps increasing up until it
reaches length of one second - then it keeps timing-out after one second for ever.
The only solution I found is system reboot :(
