1)  This could be anything. From file system corruption, to a bug.

 

2)  rpm –-rebuilddb will do what you need.

Subject: Damaged rpm database?

 

Hello,

 

while doing some maintenance on a Centos 4.4 box, I ran rpm -qa --last

and got:

 

error: rpmdb: damaged header #91 retrieved -- skipping.

...lots of lines identical to the one above and finally:

 

the_last_package_I_installed_yesterday.rpm

all the other rpms in reverse installation order

 

I've seen via google that this should mean there is a damaged rpm

database and it should be rebuilt with one or two command, however:

 

1) how can I find out _why_ the damage happened?

2) what are the right command and options to restore the database?

 

The examples I've found are 5+ years old, so I'm not really inclined

to run them as they are.

 

TIA,

      Marco
