Fix Broken RPM System?

[Ryan La Mothe]

Okay, here is the problem:

1)  I updated RPM from updates (up2date and apt-get)
2)  Don't remember doing anything else to RPM after that
3)  Used rpm -e to uninstall redhat's old mysql and related programs
4)  Now, when I use RPM for anything I get "Segmentation Fault"


How do I fix RPM?  This is very scary because I am working on this
server for entry into a corporate environment.  If RPM is not fixable
(from tar.gz source? which I can't find anywhere), then I am dumping
this distribution like a bad habit because a single update like this
causing system-wide disaster is scary as hell.

Please Help.
