I'm interested if you can find out if the command "rpmdb --rebuilddb" works. I think it doesn't, but now I have my doubts. So please try that one first, and if it says "unknown option" try "rpmdb --rebuilddb" instead ;-)
See my response to Felix -- the problem has been solved and I used 'rpm --rebuild'.
Ok!
Thanks for finding the thread. Fortunately I do not use UEFI (why is MS such a PITA? :-) ) but I am now prepared when I do have to <shudder> use UEFI which I fear I will be forced to do very shortly :-(.
UEFI is fine :-) You can boot any number of operating systems without using grub to choose them, for instance, all installed in a dozen primary partitions. Multibooting becomes easier. You only have to fight this or that operating system (guess which) fighting to be the master, as always. But undoing becomes easier, once you know how. UEFI was actually designed for multibooting, while BIOS was not and needed hacks. Of course, horrible implementations do exist. Don't confuse UEFI with protected boot, ie, needing a signed grub and a signed kernel to be able to boot. It is a feature of UEFI, yes, but can be disabled. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
