[cobalt-users] RPM broke on RAQ3. Bigtime.

[Simon Blandford <home@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not exactly sure how this happened. I think it was after installing 
some PKG files from the Cobalt download  site. RPM will now not even 
install the most basic rpm packages. It complains about the most basic 
dependencies...

error: failed dependences:
   /sbin/ldconfig    is needed by blahblahblah
   ld-linux.so.2    is needed by blahblahblah
   libc.so.6    is ditto
   /usr/bin/env is ...
   libc.so.6(GLIB_2.0) ....

Neither installing rpms manually or via the PKG interface work.
How do I get out of this pickle? I have tried rebuilding the RPM 
database but it makes no difference. I need to fix this soon because I 
can no longer install security patches. I'm only OK until the next Lion 
worm is released.

I have rpm version 3.0.5 installed.
