You're right, I had that disabled.  I re-enabled it.

Ended up trying that last night, but I never had any files matching 
/var/lib/rpm/__* anyway.  I assumed an even earlier kernel and it didn't 
work.  Tried your approach this morning and it worked at first, but then 
a bit later I was getting the DB_PRIVATE error once again.

I have given up and started a new FC3 install.  Having problems with the 
nvidia module though, so I'll start a new thread :-(

Thanks for your help, Axel.
