Hi, I'm very new to Ubuntu and I've been having a problem with the rpmdb.
I was trying to install MySQL Server 5.5.27 and I read that I would have to use the RPM and use Alien to install it. I had an error because I already had a previous version of MySQL so I used Aptitude to delete MySQL. When I got around to using Alien again with the RPM I was having all sorts of errors including the one bellow. After lots of googling I managed to remove most of them, but I cant seem to get rid of the last few involving the rpmdb.
I've tried running rpm --rebuilddb as well as deleting the files in the rpm folder, but the folder contains no files to begin with.
Can someone please help me?
