Re: [TCLUG:4458] freelist corrupt with gnome-1 rpms

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

What version of rpm are you running?  Also, It might be a better idea to
remove all packages that will be upgraded rather than to do rpm -Uvh *.
Also, if you've built or installed any packages that weren't done via rpm,
that can cause compatability problems.  You can try rebuilding the rpm
databases with the following commands:

rpm --initdb
rpm --rebuilddb
