Yesterday, I ran into problems after trying to upgrade my 4.0.2 rpm to 4.0.3. 
I could do things like "rpm -qi <some rpm name>" or "rpm -qa |grep <some 
word>" but if I tried to remove or install any rpm, it would segfault.  

This was a big problem - making it impossible to simply go back to the 
previous rpm via rpm.  I downloaded the source tarball for rpm-4.0.2 and 
built and installed it.  Now it works as it should BUT I have lost all my rpm 
database entries.  Running "rpm --rebuilddb" doesn't do anything.

Is there no way to regain my rpm database?  I REALLY need to remove some 
things as I am running out of space on my harddrive.
