Actually, I think there was an interim version which could handle
either one.  I used it briefly on my RH6.2 box just prior to upgrading
to RH7.

Also, have you tried "rpm --rebuilddb".  (I don't really think this
is the silver bullet that some people think it is, but if your system
is already hosed, running --rebuilddb won't hurt.)
