https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2042147#c2 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RelocateRPMToUsr https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2042099 The RPM database is supposed to move from /var/lib/rpm to /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm. This was supposed to happen automatically when you upgraded the rpm package from an earlier version to 4.17.0-10.fc36 (Feb-Mar 2022). On several machines it is reported that the migration was only half- completed. The symptoms are that the RPM database is still in /var/lib/rpm (/usr contains symlinks to it). See typical output from failed & successful migrations at the end of the email. So _if_ you have rpm >= 4.17.0-10.fc36 installed: - Do you see the symptom of a failed migration? Or does it appear to be successful? (Or neither case??) - Did you: * Install F37 or Rawhide from scratch? * Upgrade using ordinary dnf update or similar? * Upgrade using dnf system-upgrade? * Some other install/upgrade method? Rich. ** After a failed migration: ** $ ls -la /var/lib/rpm total 339004 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Feb 16 2022 . drwxr-xr-x. 76 root root 4096 Aug 23 13:28 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct 18 14:28 .migratedb -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 347095040 Oct 26 16:50 rpmdb.sqlite -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32768 Oct 27 15:28 rpmdb.sqlite-shm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct 26 16:50 rpmdb.sqlite-wal -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 16 2022 .rpm.lock $ ls -la /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 5 12:05 . drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Feb 9 2022 .. lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34 Oct 18 14:28 .migratedb -> ../../../../var/lib/rpm/.migratedb lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 Oct 18 14:28 rpmdb.sqlite -> ../../../../var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 40 Oct 18 14:28 rpmdb.sqlite-shm -> ../../../../var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-shm lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 40 Oct 18 14:28 rpmdb.sqlite-wal -> ../../../../var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 Oct 18 14:28 .rpm.lock -> ../../../../var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock ** After a successful migration: ** $ ls -la /var/lib/rpm lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 26 Sep 5 13:35 /var/lib/rpm -> ../../usr/lib/sysimage/rpm $ ls -la /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm total 316324 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 91 Sep 17 23:03 . drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 17 Aug 9 14:27 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 323878912 Oct 27 16:12 rpmdb.sqlite -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32768 Oct 28 10:45 rpmdb.sqlite-shm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct 27 16:12 rpmdb.sqlite-wal -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Sep 5 13:53 .rpm.lock -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com nbdkit - Flexible, fast NBD server with plugins https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
