    Hi Folks

    When I click on the RHN icon to check for updates I get the up2date
    package on screen as normal but when I click on 'Launch up2date' I get
    the following:

    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)
    error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1174, in ?
        sys.exit(main() or 0)
      File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 656, in main
        ret = sanityChecks(fromDaemon, hasGui)
      File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 288, in sanityChecks
        if cfg["useGPG"] and gpgUtils.checkGPGInstallation() == 2:
      File "gpgUtils.py", line 31, in checkGPGInstallation
      File "gpgUtils.py", line 75, in findKey
      File "rpmUtils.py", line 102, in installedHeadersNameVersion
    TypeError: rpmdb open failed

    This also happens if I open a new terminal window and try to run
    up2date manually.

    Any ideas what could have gone wrong and how I fix it? At this point
    the machine is no longer checking for updates on RHN.

    Regards

    Chris
