I haven't tried out the rpm database corruption fix, but I have tried out the
grouplist option. It almost works :)
yum grouplist
works
yum grouplist hidden
works
yum grouplist [group1]
traceback
-------
# yum grouplist ODS
Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: Fermi Linux 90rolling main
Getting headers from: Fermi Linux 90rolling updates
Getting headers from: yum update
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Getting groups from servers

I tried it with a an original RedHat group, one of our Fermi groups, and even
a fake group that I know wasn't in there. They all gave the same traceback.
This is on RedHat 9, with yum 1.97
