Has anyone seen this before?
[root@shelob rpm]# yum update
rpmdb: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version

Trying to rebuild the rpm database results in a similar error. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is a remote system that
isn't easy for me to get physical access to. 8-(
