Hrmmm ....

After a clean upgrade of rpm 4.4.9 to rpm 5.1.0 I appear to have a
corrupted database. This was a cleanly installed test system.

Trying to remove createrepo renders repeated messages...
error: rpmdb: damaged header #830 retrieved -- skipping.
error: rpmdb: damaged header #830 retrieved -- skipping.
error: rpmdb: damaged header #830 retrieved -- skipping.
error: rpmdb: damaged header #830 retrieved -- skipping.
error: rpmdb: damaged header #830 retrieved -- skipping.
error: rpmdb: damaged header #830 retrieved -- skipping.

Any package basically renders a similar result.

Command I"m running is:   rpm -e createrepo

What did I do wrong?
