Hi Greg,
I've run "rpm --rebuilddb" and the databases are now in existance. I'll
look for any error messages when the next update goes out and let you know
if the problem recurs. (I think the appropriate response here is "no news
is good news" and I'll only follow up on this if something goes wrong in
the next update.)
Thanks,
--Tom
