Hello, Iam having the following problem: #rpm -qa gave the following output

When I execute "rpm -qa" I get no output.Iam missing a lot of information in rpm directory.
Right, the entire database is missing, and you initialised an empty one after creating the directory.
How can I recreate it?
Restore the files from your backups.
You could try rpm --rebuilddb That should build a new database
