I am sure that this is self inflicted.
I did an upgrade to RH 8.0 from 7.3.
That worked fine.
I had many problems with RPM, and seemed to have them
resolved them with the help of this list.
Now, for some reason my RPM database is gone.
When I do rpm -qa all I see is the rpm packages.

Oddly enough, I had a similar problem on an smp development box
running Rawhide (beta) when I tried to upgrade to the new and
improved glibc set. Lots of "I can only do PRIVATE_DB" type
messages, rpm only worked from user accounts (not root) and no
ability to reverse the glibc change.

I seem to have lost my rpm database. After upgrading a couple of rpms,

Yes, you can manually update the database, but you probably don't want to
do that. If you want to tell rpm a package is installed, (did I mention
you don't want to do this?) You can run:
rpm -ivh --justdb (perhaps --nodeps --force) /pat
