I did that, but that's not the problem. I think what got us was this
bugzilla bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101603
It's been bouncing around for two years and they just recently (like a
couple of weeks ago) released a bunch of RPMs to fix the problem:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2005-147.html
Basically, when you set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL, as we have to do to install
9i, and you have an older glibc installed, which we also have, rpm can
corrupt it's database. I didn't read the entire bug report (it's very
long with two year's worth of conversation) but I think it's a
semi-random thing - things will work for a while and then one day you
update something and your rpm database goes kaput.
What I haven't found yet is how to fix it, or if it is even possible to
fix it. I think we might have to actually reinstall the system to get
it back in working order. Grumble.
