Yum dit install updates. But the next day, i was notified off exact the same amound of updates. I looked carefully when updating; After downloading when there is a bar with configuring packages; the bar disapeered and no messages completed installating packages came up. So i tryed to do it with updating packages - the same I tryed in a terminal window with rpm - i get: PANIC fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error (-30977) from dbenv -> open: DB_RUNRECOVERY; Fatal error, run database recovery Cannot open Packages database in /usr/lib/rpm. Question: How do i run a rpm-database recovery ??? Thanks very much Erik
