Error: Database disk image is malformed
I removed /var/lib/rpm/__db.** files

#rpm --rebuilddb *
But that still doesn't help when running yum.
What am I not doing right?
I ran into this once recently, when I hit Ctrl-C at an inopportune
moment while yum was running on that window. Like you, thought it was
the RPM database that was corrupt, and like you did the same thing to
no effect.
# yum clean all
had no effect either.
To resolve, I deleted all the contents of /var/lib/yum/. It's kind of
heavyweight, but it resolved it. You may try simply deleting
/var/lib/yum/history/* first, and see if that's sufficient (assuming
you don't need to be able to have yum roll back completed transactions
to some previous state). If not, try deleting yumdb/ there.
There may be a better way to handle this, but I'll let the yum experts
chime in then.
Thanks,
Matt
Remove contents from /var/lib/yum/history/* did the trick. THANKS MUCH MATT
