Excellent, I'm glad it worked. I'd still be interested to know if 
rebuilding the redhat provided database would have worked.
I may just pull out an old retired machine and try it. ;)

The only problem I can think of by using the 'wrong' version of 
rpmdb-redhat, is that it will return the package version from the list of 
7.2 packages. It shouldn't hurt anything though.
