TR-03: How can I rebuild my RPM databases?

Sometimes you try to add a new package using RPM or URPMI and end up getting a database error or some other "odd" error. Usually the first thing you should try to do is rebuild your RPM database. Here's a simple one liner to do so..

CODE
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* && rpm --rebuilddb


This command will remove the database files and then issue a database rebuild command.
