If I understand the output you posted and your comments above correctly, you have made direct changes to files under package management (rpm) without going through yum or a similar manager. This will not work. The tools, such as the one calling the rpmdb in the function that failed, make assumptions about a sane state being present. If it isn't, they have no way of compensating for that. At the very least you need to reinstall yum. Download the rpm from a repository and rpm -ivh <yum package name> And you should reinstall the fedora-release package also. It is possible it is setting the version that the rpmdb function is calling to determine version, the function that failed. You can also install the package yum-utils and run the utility package-cleanup --problems to see if there are any inconsistencies in your package database. Before, or after, you do that, it might be a good idea to try to make your rpm environment sane. As root, cd /var/lib/rpm rm __db.* rpm --rebuilddb This will recreate the rpm databases from scratch based on the installed packages. It will take a while, depending on the number of packages you have installed. Once you reinstall yum, you should be good to go again. Unless you have made other changes. Direct manipulation of files should only be done in the /usr/local hierarchy or your home environment. It *can* be done with system files, but you have to make sure you are aware of all the side effects. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
