[Gllug] Recovering a RH6.2 system with a corrupt RPM database

[Sudhir Anand]

I found the following link which might help
http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/


A HOWTO file describing a procedure to rebuild a RPM database from scratch,
populating with packages already installed on the Linux system. ... 
http://www.informatimago.com/linux/rpm-rebuilddb


Hope this helps.

Sudir.
