Re: Failed RPM database migrations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have one machine that has failed.

It was an upgrade from 35 to 36 done using dnf distro-sync
but I have plenty of others done the same way that worked.

One difference is that it's a machine that wasn't upgraded
until August while other ones were done back in May as a
result of which the upgrade was:

  from rpm-4.17.1-3.fc35.x86_64
    to rpm-4.17.1-3.fc36.x86_64

while other machines were more like:

  from rpm-4.17.0-4.fc35.x86_64
    to rpm-4.17.0-10.fc36.x86_64

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?
