I just loaded CentOS 5 on a new x86_64 machine I built for my wife. I am converting her from the dark $ide. :-) I started getting the following messages from yum: ]: yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

I tried the normal "rpm is damaged" sequence of: rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages rpm --rebuilddb But that did not help the situation. Are there any suggestions on how to get rid of this one piece and get past this error? I tried a -f on the rpm -e and it failed the same way. Bob Styma
