Did you do anything with RPM before it croaked? In my experience, you can break rpm if you make a slip and do a "rpm -qa" and hit enter, then hit Ctrl-C to stop it (it will otherwise go through the entire list of your installed rpms). Doing the Ctrl-C often leads to what you are experiencing, and I imagine similar actions of stopping rpm from doing something it is in the middle of. Me thinks you will need to delete your current rpm database and then do an "rpm --rebuilddb". praedor - -- I'm jealous of the Iraqis.
