I'll search for rpms for that version. Searching for rpmdb... CD-3:rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030313.i386.rpm SOURCE-CD-3:rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030313.src.rpm It is the entire database for the distro. Still puzzled why locks would be in that directory. Still trying to figure out why I got an error rebuilding [root@xxx rpm]# rpm --rebuilddb error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy Tried running --initdb and a couple of more --rebuilddb. Still getting the error. Now what?
