Folks,

We have a corrupt rpm database in one of our sles8
server. rpm -qa hangs after listing few packages.
rpm --rebuilddb hangs forever.

I looked at /var/lib/rpm all files except packages.rpm
says they are Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2,
native byte-order) where as packages.rpm says its
data.

Is there a tool to fix this, any/all help is greatly
appreciated.

-Muthu
