Problem with rpm --rebuilddb

[Derek Chen-Becker <derek chen-becker org>]

Hi,
    I'm having an issue rebuilding my db on my RH9 box after I ran into 
some problems.  It all started when I tried importing the Fedora GPG key 
into rpm. After that I started getting pages and pages of:

error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#...

I read around on the list and someone said I needed to remove the lock 
files and rebuild my DB. I did that and I started getting:

error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

about three seconds into the rebuild. I tried removing PubKeys as 
someone on the list suggested, but that didn't change anything. The 
problem I have is that the rebuild only takes 3-5 seconds now before 
hitting the db4 error, and afterwards an "rpm -qa" only shows about 20 
packages. Have I destroyed my db?

Thanks,

Derek
