<p>Hi Jeff,</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the information.</p>
<p>On the first option of using rpm--rebuilddb, i did check the release note of some of the rpm versions-4 from which reading both db's are supported. Looks like from rpm-4.0.2 to 4.4.2.3 we can use --rebuilddb to make it compatible. As you mentioned we can try these versions and see which one would work.</p>
<p>On second option i haven't  completely got the context.<br>
You mean to say that first we need to update the OS and then reinstall all the required rpm packages ?<br>
Or during update process we created some sort of virtual packages and then install them ?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Sangamesh</p>
