Hi everybody My problem is simple, but apparently not simple to resolve. I already asked this question on two different forums (fedora and sitepoint), without any positive answer. Being newbie to this kind of information distribution, I apologize if any procedural order is bypassed. yum (and/or yumex) has lost the database of all installed packages on my FC5 system machine... The problem is now that : 1- I cannot update anything, because nothing shows as installed. 2- I cannot remove anything for the same reason. 3- I cannot install anything because so many packages are logically not installed, making yum/yumex enter in a dependencies frenzy. 4- beyond this problem, the machine works fine. It's still the one i'm working on at present time. Presently, yumex is configured without the Auto refresh on start in the Edit -> Preferences. Here is the result after going through the repositories refresh. 10:03:17 : Current Settings : 10:03:17 : autocleanup: False 10:03:17 : autorefresh: False 10:03:17 : debug: True 10:03:17 : exclude: [] 10:03:17 : filelists: False 10:03:17 : fullobsoletion: False 10:03:17 : mirrordetection: 'best' 10:03:17 : noplugins: False 10:03:17 : processsafemode: True 10:03:17 : proxy: '' 10:03:17 : recentdays: 14 10:03:17 : usecache: False 10:03:17 : Mirrordetection : best 10:03:17 : Yum Version : 2.6.1 (/usr/share/yum-cli) 10:03:17 : Setup Yum : Config 10:03:17 : Setup Yum : Plugins 10:03:17 : Setup Yum : Transaction Set 10:03:17 : Setup Yum : RPM Db. 10:03:17 : Setup Yum : Base setup completed 10:03:17 : Enable/Disable Repositories 10:03:22 : Loading Repositories Data 10:03:22 : Loading Repositories Data : Init. core repository 10:03:22 : Loading Repositories Data : Init. extras repository 10:03:22 : Loading Repositories Data : Init. updates repository 10:03:22 : Loading Repositories Data : Populate Package Sack for core 10:03:22 : Loading Repositories Data : Populate Package Sack for extras 10:19:17 : Added 217 new packages, deleted 171 old in 24.89 seconds 10:19:17 : Loading Repositories Data : Populate Package Sack for updates 10:25:59 : Added 24 new packages, deleted 17 old in 5.47 seconds 10:26:01 : Loading Repository Group Data 10:36:47 : Loading Repositories Data completed 10:36:47 : Building Package Lists : Updates 10:36:50 : Building Package Lists : 0 Updates found 10:36:50 : Building Package Lists : Installed 10:36:50 : Building Package Lists : 0 Installed packages found 10:36:50 : Building Package Lists : Available 10:37:48 : Building Package Lists : 5972 Available packages found 10:37:48 : Building Package Lists completed 10:37:49 : Updating groups view, populate view with data 10:37:49 : Repository initialization completed in 2072.17 seconds Can someone give me a clue on how to rebuild the installed packages database ? I already went through a yum cleanall and rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* rpm --rebuilddb It does not work either. Thanks in advance.
