    This isn't so nice. I seem to have an error of some sort in my RPM
    database. Everything I run that touches the RPM database ends in a
    segfault.

    I tried a rebuild.... and this is what I got:
    -------
    rpm --rebuilddb
    error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 1072 Header V3 DSA signature:
    BAD, key ID 87d0fc15
    -------

    I did a rebuild again, and it got all the way through the secodn time
    without errors. But.... it still didn't fix the problem. If i do
    soemthing as simple as... say... apt-get check...

    ------
    apt-get check
    Segmentation faultsts... 64%
    ------

    The segfault always happens at the same point... at 64%.

    There is nothing in the messages or warn log files to help me out.

    So, now what do I do? What can I do to recover my RPM database?
