Has anyone seen this before?
[root at shelob rpm]# yum update
rpmdb: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version
error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)

Trying to rebuild the rpm database results in a similar error. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is a remote system that
isn't easy for me to get physical access to. 8-(
Cheers,
