I just upgraded my version of rpm on redhat 6.2 because openssh was not
playing nice with my old one.  Now after I installed the newest version of
rpm I issued "rpm --rebuilddb" command to update my database.  However, rpm
still connot read my database.  Any ideas (beside the obvious, apt-get).
Thanks a ton.
