[rhn-users] Problem running up2date

[Alfred Hovdestad]

Can you still run up2date successfully in CLI mode?  If not, you can try 
  rebuilding the rpm database:

  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
  rpm -vv --rebuilddb


If you can still run up2date via the CLI, it may be an X authority 
issue.  Are you logged in as root or do you run su to become root?  If 
you run su, there is an Xauthority or Xissue file somewhere (I can't 
remember where it is, try $HOME or /tmp) that you can delete and then 
restart your X session.
