Hi Andrew,
As far as I know, 'updatedb' doesn't fix anything, it simply updates the
slocate database. locate allows you to find files in your hard drives very
fast, because it doesn't search them in the disk, it searches them in the
slocate database.
On the other hand, 'rpm --rebuilddb' can fix your RPM database. I've had the
same problem when using Mandrake Update. Rebuilding the RPM database fixed
it.
In both cases, it doesn't matter from 'where' you run the command, but you
have to be root to execute them.
About aspell, if you go to http://rpm.pbone.net and search for aspell-0.5 in
Mandrake area, you will find a source rpm for aspell. You might try to
compile it on your system using 'rpm --rebuild aspell-0.5xxx.src.rpm'.
