Try `rpm --rebuilddb` (but better backup /var/lib/rpm contents before

'ra' = PLD 1.0 (stable in the nearest future)
'nest' = never-ending story (development version)


PS. 'PLD' used to stand for "Polish Linux Distribution" or "Polish(ed)
Linux Distribution) some time ago, but now it's just "PLD Linux" or "PLD
Linux Distribution" - as it's now open for people outside Poland and
Polish language support isn't the most important goal.
