[rhn-users] Im using up2date on a registered machine

[Alfred Hovdestad]

Hello James:

The first thing to try is to flush out the temporary db files:

# rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*


If that doesn't fix the problem, try rebuilding the rpm database:

# rpm --rebuilddb


If that doesn't work, get back to this list and we'll take a closer look.
