Thanks for the effort! I will try your package since running
rpm --verifydb just gave me a return of the below pasted error. This is
on the development version for reference.

Yes, thanks, you're just the sort of user I'm looking for:  one who will
probably mention any error reports produced by my package.  And I'm pleased
that I prompted you to check (and repair) your RPM database.

I have the rpm installed on the development side and just did an update on the FC6 side where yum or rpm just hung at a particular point and would not go any further. I had to boot into runlevel 1 and --replacefile --replacepkgs on a slew of packages in order to get the database corrected and all old package elements removed.

Anyway, I'll try to install the rpm repair and verification program on FC6 also. something is not as it should be with either rpm, yum or the rpmdb where information is not consistent from yum or rpm.

Package attempted to install are below, They never got to the cleanup phase and bombed out in midstream somewhere.

selinux-policy-targeted was the last package installed before the lockup. I erased the nouveau rpms after the cleanup. As you can see, there was a considerable time difference between the failure and cleanup. The libdvdread rpm was retrieved on the run after the cleanup.
