What is the typical size of the /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Packages file? (aka /var/lib/rpm/Packages)
Mine is big:
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.3G Mar 13 04:47 Packages
I wonder if it is too big.
I should have posted the number of packages: Telcontar:~ # rpm -qa | wc -l 11026 Telcontar:~ #

Are you running the current *55.52.1 kernel? Are you mostly a zypper user, mostly yast user, or mostly mixed, for package management? I rarely use yast for software except during OS installations.
Kernel doesn't affect the package database, it matters only the number of packages, and possibly "holes" in the database, which is what worries me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
