'Device busy' error when trying to Rebuild RPM Database...

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

 



Hello,

I accidentaly deleted /var/lib/rpm.  (Don't ask.)  I am trying to
rebuild the rpm database so, hopefully, rpm will function normally once
again.  But I get this error:

root / >> rpm --rebuilddb
error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

I'm at a loss. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
