Now , i got the exact thing i suppose, i try to install modutils just after upgrading the rpm, then i run --rebuilddb, Now nothing was happen then i again run the --force upgrade of rpm and run --rebuilddb
now it is showing only seven pacakges which i just upgrade, nothing else in rpm -qa :-)
You tell me one thing what are the chances if i upgrade it to RH7.

rpm -qa wouldnt give any output if it couldnt find anything in the new
format. Which is what had happened to me when my rpm database got
zapped. I would say you better get your stuff out of that machine and do
a reinstall. I do believe I said that rpm upgrade should be done
standalone and not as part of one big rpm -Uvh *.rpm. You are supposed
to do a upgrade of rpm and db3 together and run rpm --rebuilddb before
doing anything else with the rpm database.
