I am sorry folks, I should have mentioned this is 7.1 (w/rhn updates). This is the second time this has happened. Last time an rpm --rebuilddb fixed it. This time if I emptied the /var/lib/rpm directory and did an rpm --initdb and then rpm --rebuilddb it would allow we to install (not -e of course). Still when I put the orig rpm/* file back it would always lockup at the point of reading the "...../rpm/requirename" db.
