[Zeffie-Users] Lost RPM database / Need to restore PostgreSQL

Hello there,

The night before last a managed to enter "find . -print | xargs rm" 
whilst logged in as root in the root directory. Massive mistake I 
realise. It was late!

However I managed to kill the command before much damage was done and 
the server is functioning nearly completely correctly. The two key 
things I need to replace are the RPM database (which was lost) in 
/var/lib/rpm amd the pgsl database which I understand can be restored 
with "meta-verify".

Does anyone have a near 'clean' RPM database of a RAQ4 with, ideally 
though not strictly necessary, all the Sun security patches installed 
that I could have a copy of? Additionally any advice on restoring my 
corrupt PostgreSQL database would very be much appreciated.

Kind regards,


Peter
