[CLUG] repairing rpm

[Donncha O Caoimh]

This might be useful:

$ rpm -ql rpmdb-redhat-7.2-0.20010924
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Basenames
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Conflictname
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Dirnames
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Group
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Installtid
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Name
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Providename
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Provideversion
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Requirename
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Requireversion
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Triggername

and looking at the RPM rpm..

/var/lib/rpm/Basenames
/var/lib/rpm/Conflictname
/var/lib/rpm/Dirnames
/var/lib/rpm/Filemd5s
/var/lib/rpm/Group
/var/lib/rpm/Installtid
/var/lib/rpm/Name
/var/lib/rpm/Packages
/var/lib/rpm/Providename
/var/lib/rpm/Provideversion
/var/lib/rpm/Removetid
/var/lib/rpm/Requirename
/var/lib/rpm/Requireversion
/var/lib/rpm/Sha1header
/var/lib/rpm/Sigmd5
/var/lib/rpm/Triggername
/var/lib/rpm/__db.001
/var/lib/rpm/__db.002
/var/lib/rpm/__db.003
/var/lib/rpm/__db.004
/var/lib/rpm/__db.005
/var/lib/rpm/__db.006
/var/lib/rpm/__db.007
/var/lib/rpm/__db.008
/var/lib/rpm/__db.009
