There is another way: in "/var/adm/backup/rpmdb" you have daily bakcups of that database made by cron (run-crons: suse.de-backup-rpmdb). By default it keeps 5 copies, you can increase the number somewhere in /etc/sysconfig.
Once you get a good copy, you only need to worry about what you did the last days(s).
Good point, I had forgotten that backup. So there's hope for Rui...
It's very easy to forget that one, it is almost "hidden". I remember simply because I was bitten by rpmdb corruption and that backup saved me. But I had to search for it for my email, I didn't remember where it was. There is also a backup of some configuration files in there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
