No (though --initdb no longer removes your existing database, it doesn't do anything useful anymore either). If Michael Young's suggestion to reboot doesn't help, try as root "rpm --verifydb". The Packages file must be OK, for --rebuilddb to work. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
