Some more odd questions: Are all of your filesystems mounts (rw)? (just run "mount" to see)
Before the next time you run # rpm --rebuilddb Could you check the man page for it? Is there a way to increase the level of verbosity? Sometimes, apps will allow for a number like "-d 100" to set debug level to 100 and show lots of extra information. Some will use "-v" or "-vv" or "-vvv" or "-vvv..." with more "v" being more verbose... Find the highest level of verbosity it can use, and specify that on the command line the next time you run it, like: # rpm --rebuilddb -vvvvv if it accepts that kind of format. Perhaps it will tell us Thanks! -ME Richard S. Crawford said: > I did try it.
