Re: [bug] rebuild db prompt

OK, better/more verbose output will be in the next version.

The database error wants you to do a `grab --update`. 

I just ran a `grab --rpmfind eterm` and it worked with no dependancy issues. I
would also recommend to get the Mandrake package (because unlike so many of
the no-named RPM builders, I trust their build knowledge). I obtained package:

	Eterm-O.8.10-17mdk.i586.rpm

When I download the latest version I got in to a dependancy mess. The libtool
packages do not install correctly on my system (I have not had a chance to
debug why)... The older version of Eterm from Mandrake works perfect. I would
recommend to just install that. You can also get the source RPM and rebuild
that:

   # grab --rpmfind --arch=src --download Eterm
   # rpm --rebuild /var/cache/grab/RPMS/Eterm*.src.rpm
 if rebuild was sucessful...
   # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Eterm*.rpm

Hope that helps!
