mkdir ~/RPMS
mv /var/spool/up2date/*.rpm ~/RPMS
rm -f /var/spool/up2date/*
rpm -ivh --test ~/RPMS/*.rpm
Look for errors relating to corrupt files, and delete any that are
corrupt.
mv ~/RPMS/*.rpm /var/spool/up2date
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/rm __db.*
rpm --rebuilddb
Double check the sources listed in "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources".
up2date-nox --list
