I've experienced a similiar problem in upgrading my version of RPM on one of
my systems. RPM doesn't work anymore at all, however GnoRPM seems to be
working just fine. I've been hesitant to remove RPM 4 and attempt to
restore the original version for fear of losing the RPM database completely.

Can both of you give more details? You tried to upgrade a fresh 6.2 system,
etc.?
