I have a problem.. One of my machines (10.2) lost its installed rpm database.. So, when I do a 'rpm -qa' it shows only 2 packages..
How can I rebuild it accurately?
You should have backups in "/var/adm/backup/rpmdb", the "Packages" file gzipped by date. But hurry, it is a daily backup holding only a week, so after a week the backup will only have your corrupted copy.

*sigh* There are a bunch of gzipped files there, but I guess none of them would be really accurate. Would there be a way to "refresh" a very old copy, like unpack the biggest one and somehow verify it against the actual packages installed?
