The yum db just killed itself on my x86_64 fc5 box. [root@arbol ~]# yum list rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error(-30977) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run data error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30977) I then found some advice via google to rebuild the db so I did: /bin/rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.* rpm --initdb rpm --rebuilddb chown rpm:rpm /var/lib/rpm/__db.* That sort of got things hobbling along, but now livna doesn't work. ftp://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/rpm.livna.org/fedora/Null/x86_64g/repodata/repomd.xml It looks like the "fc5" that goes between "fedora" and "x86_64" is missing. I take it some part of the db didn't get totally rebuilt? Do I need to somehow stuff the "fc5" release name into the db by hand? -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
