What does "df -h" tell you? You haven't mentioned disk space, so I apologize if this is too obvious, but this sounds a lot like what I would expect to happen if the partition that holds your /var directory was full. i.e. RPM can't work without a valid database, RPM can't generate a database because it seems to think that there's no space on the device, and up2date wouldn't work because it relies on RPM to do its dirty work. LPR would also fail because it can't write stuff into /var/spool, and you wouldn't get much debugging information because attempts to write to /var/log would not go very well either. . . -- Best Viewed with Practically Anything: This document is formatted in 7-bit ASCII text.
