[rhn-users] Im using up2date on a registered machine

[James Harrison]

Hello

Thanks for you email and suggestions.

Unfortunately neither of these suggestions worked.

I tried rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* then up2date (didnt work).

then rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* and rpm --rebuilddb (didnt work).

Is there a way to take a list of rpm package names (/root/install.log) and
recreate the rpm database from this?

Hope you can help further.

Thanks

James Harrison
