Not sure other than that it appears to exit cleanly. I can't remember
where I got the -n been using for what seems like years :-))

Out of curiosity, what is the -n switch for? I did not see anything in
the manpage. While trying it out, it seemed to create some different
output to stdout, but that could have been because I was trying it out
as a non-root user.

When this happened to me updating the menus didn't help. Most of the
Packages stuff was no longer installed. Does urpmi still work? If so try to
install rpmdrake. It will offer to install several other packages or at
least it did when I lost my menus.
