I had invoked
sudo yum -y update
only to realize that I had to fix a repo file before doing the update.
So, I killed the process from another gnome terminal, fixed
the file and retried to update. Now the database is hosed.
I tried to do clean all, and it also fails the same way:
$ sudo yum clean all
rpmdb: Thread/process 7604/3079239360 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB
library
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal

What to do now??
