Database disk image problem

[K8JWT]

I was installing a new system today and received this error message in terminal.

Error: database disk image is malformed

Since I got this error I can not install anything on the system nor do updates or upgrades.

I tried "yum clean all" and get no errors from that but still can't install via yum

HELP

I think the solution for your problem is:

su
rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
rpm --rebuilddb

This will delete your current (corrupted) rpm database files then rebuild new ones.
