Hi,

I've come across something that I haven't seen before, but my RPM binary
doesn't seem to work. If I try to install or upgrade any RPMs, it just
sits and doesn't do anything.
rpm -qa, rpm --help, and rpm --version work, but that's it. I tried rpm
--list to see if the last rpm installed might have done something, but
that doesn't work either. Any ideas on what might be up or how to fix
this? Mandrake 8.2
Thanks,

Try rpm --rebuild and repair your rpm database.  That should fix what 
ails you.
