/var/lib/rpm directory deleted - oops

Tue Sep 21 21:39:34 UTC 2004

Hi

I was plaing with rpm and yum. Somehow the database got corrupted. I had the 
great idea of moving the whole directory (/var/lib/rpm) somewhere else for 
backup. I played around a bit. I was going to delete the newly created 
directory because I realised I couldn't rebuild, easily if at all, the 
contents of that directory. Well, I kinda deleted my original copy of the 
directory by mistake. Anyhow, is there a way to recover or rebuild the 
contents of that directory? I know this is highly improbable but if there is 
someone that has the answer, I'm all ears!

Martin
