Is these some way to remove and rebuild the Packages file or the entire rpm database?
As root, 'rpm --rebuilddb' ('man rpm' for more options) but, before doing that, did you happen to see anything interesting or more informative from running 'dmesg' or inspecting /var/log/messages? IMHO, it'd be nice to track down and rid the system of any orphaned lock files and/or verify there aren't any <gasp> filesystem problems.
dmesg produces too much volume to be read; /var/log/messages has no entries for "rpm" or "yast". Again, I haven't found ANY lock files in /var/run or /var/lib/rpm. Is there anyplace else I should look? (Of course, I could do a fiind for "*.lock" ...)
