I just tried to update the system-config-date and yum complains that it
needs the package ntp which is not available. Problem is that the ntp
package is actually installed and up-to-date:

Cannot reproduce.
I've seen the same error when updating libvirt and libvirt-python. It
said dnsmasq wasn't available.

# rpm -q ntp
ntp-4.2.4p2-3.fc8
There is something really weird going on here:
[root@nexus etc]# rpm -ql ntp
package ntp is not installed
[root@nexus etc]# rpm -ql ntp-4.2.4p2-3.fc8
/etc/ntp
/etc/ntp.conf
/etc/ntp/crypto
/etc/ntp/crypto/pw
/etc/ntp/keys
...
Why doesn't rpm recognize the package with the name "ntp"? I even removed
the package with "rpm -e --nodeps ntp-4.2.4p2-3.fc8" (again just saying
"ntp" isn't enough) and reinstalled it but that doesn't help.
I also tried to check the db:
[root@nexus ~]# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
No Repositories Available to Set Up
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found
That doesn't look quite right...

Uh, try rpm -qi ntp-4.2.4p2-3.fc8
It sounds like your rpmdb entry got the whole n-v-r as the 'name' of
the package.

What worries me is that removing the package and installing it again
results in the same behavior. Everything else seems to work fine it's just
this package that is acting weird.

That doesn't check the database files. If the option hasn't been removed
yet, "rpm --verifydb" will check the individual files, though not the
referential integrity, of the RPM database.

That checked some of the data in the RPM database files. As the output
from that is odd, the database files should be checked for integrity,
hopefully with `rpm --verifydb`. If problems are found, the RPM database
can often be rebuilt if the Packages file is OK, with `rpm --rebuilddb`
unless that has been removed also.

'rpm --verifydb' doesn't output anything at all which I presume means that
the integrity of the database is ok.

Yes, the checks passed. (They don't check referential integrity, the data
relationships between tables. They just check that each table is in proper
format.)
It's good to know the database is not hosed when RPM is being weird. I've
seen it limp along for quite a while, getting weirder and weirder.

Yes, that's exactly why I posted about the problem on this mailinglist.
Right now it only seems to be a minor annoyance but I fear that it might
lead to bigger problems down the road. Given that other users have reported
similar problems on this list with other packages in the last couple of
days and that according to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250604 this problem
doesn't seem to be confined to rawhide I think this looks like a bug in
rpm. While I cannot say how serious this bug really is I tend to get a
little nervous when it comes to creeping integrity problems of databases
(rpm's or otherwise). Could this be a result of the latest rpm version
update (which had a rather long changelog)?

Dennis

Yes, certainly, that's programming for you. However, I'm not using that
version so I can't be of more help (too darn busy to install F7 -- may skip
to F8, sigh). Now that the simple stupid question is settled, it's time
for me to be quiet and let this problem go back to the experts.
