Re: Rebuilding the database from scratch ??

["TheFinn" <thefinn tpg com au>]

[root@astronaut lib]# rpm --initdb
rpmdb: write: 0xbfffd670, 8192: Invalid argument
error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)

Same issue.
