Hi, I have a machine that has a corrup RPM database. I tried the usual rm var/lib/rpm/__db.00*, then rpm --rebuilddb which has worked in the past. This time nothing. Now I look after a lot of machines and they they all have the same RPM configuration. So I decided to copy all of /usr/lib/rpm from one machine to the machine with the corrup rpm database. I thought this might work, and if it didn't I thought the usual fixabove would do it. No such luck. Anybody any ideas? Thanks in advance, and here's an example of how it gets stuck: <1004-5>jove# rpm -Fvh -v -v -v -v rsync-2.5.7-0.8.i386.rpm D: ============== rsync-2.5.7-0.8.i386.rpm D: Expected size: 144051 = lead(96)+sigs(344)+pad(0)+data(143611) D: Actual size: 144051 D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys rdonly mode=0x0 warning: rsync-2.5.7-0.8.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Name rdonly mode=0x0 D: read h# 305 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Providename rdonly mode=0x0 D: read h# 305 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: added binary package [0] D: found 0 source and 1 binary packages D: ========== +++ rsync-2.5.7-0.8 D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Depends create mode=0x0 D: Requires: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 YES (rpmlib provides ) D: Requires: rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 YES (rpmlib provides ) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libc.so.6 YES (db provides) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) YES (db provides) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) YES (db provides) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) YES (db provides) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3) YES (db provides) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) YES (db provides) D: read h# 573 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libpopt.so.0 YES (db provides) D: read h# 499 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e D: Requires: libresolv.so.2 YES (db provides) D: ========== --- rsync-2.5.5-1 D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Requirename rdonly mode=0x0 D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Depends D: ========== recording tsort relations D: ========== tsorting packages (order, #predecessors, #succesors, tree, depth) D: 0 0 0 1 0 -rsync-2.5.5-1 D: ========== successors only (presentation order) D: 1 0 0 0 0 +rsync-2.5.7-0.8 D: installing binary packages D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Providename D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Requirename D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Name D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages create mode=0x42 ***gets stuck here**** -- Ross Macintyre (raz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
