[root www rpm]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030313
[root www rpm]# whichcd rpmdb
You appear to be running Red Hat Linux 9.
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 www 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?
