I get no output at all from this command, perhaps I have misunderstood
the flags?
[root@picard ~]# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@picard ~]#
In the meantime I have found an interesting data point:
[root@picard ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Cleaning up Everything
Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors
[root@picard ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Determining fastest mirrors
* base: mirror.ash.fastserv.com
* extras: mirror.net.cen.ct.gov
* updates: mirror.7x24web.net

The file /var/cache/yum/base/primary.xml.gz.sqlite is only 20KB,
whereas in the "normal" case I'd expect it to be 6.5MB. Somehow, yum is
failing to regenerate this file for the base repository, and is crashing
with a segmentation fault when trying to read it. I don't know however
how to make it generate a correct sqlite file.
