Repair rpm database on *nix

1. Check for processes holding the rpm database open (usually in MUTEX/FUTEX states):
lsof | grep /var/lib/rpm
If it finds any, kill -9 them all.
2. Delete any temporary DB files:
rm -fv /var/lib/rpm/__*
3. Rebuild your RPM database:
rpm –rebuilddb -v -v
If you still have problems, a reboot is probably quickest, then repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
