If the following command returns zero results: rpm -qa then, maybe your rpm database is corrupt. I guess under the circumstances first you need to delete the corrupt database: rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* This will delete the database files. Now, simple rebuild the database again as follows: rpm --rebuilddb Guess this should solve the issue. Of course, I don't have a RHEL/CentOS system handy, and haven't used for a year, so I can't test. Karan will have the sure-shot answer.
