[vox-tech] Segmentation Fault with RPM --rebuilddb

[ME]

Some more odd questions:

Are all of your filesystems mounts (rw)?
(just run "mount" to see)

Before the next time you run
# rpm --rebuilddb
Could you check the man page for it? Is there a way to increase the level
of verbosity? Sometimes, apps will allow for a number like
"-d 100" to set debug level to 100 and show lots of extra information.
Some will use "-v" or "-vv" or "-vvv" or "-vvv..." with more "v" being
more verbose...
Find the highest level of verbosity it can use, and specify that on the
command line the next time you run it, like:
# rpm --rebuilddb -vvvvv
if it accepts that kind of format. Perhaps it will tell us

Thanks!
