Hi, I have tried to install some basic RH9 packages into a chroot with rpm --root /chroot $PACKAGES under Fedora 2. That worked fine so far and I can work in the chroot after changing to it. Unfortunately there seems to be a incompatibility with the various rpm versions. Fedora Core 2 has rpm version 4.3.1 while the RedHat Linux 9 distribution has 4.2. Any rpm operation which needs access to the database fails with the following error and leaves a stale __db.001 file. rpmdb: write 0xfeffc610, 8192: Invalid argument error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm no packages Trying to dump the database and reload it as described on http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/ doesn't help either. According to /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify the database file is okay. Any advice how this problem can be solved? bye, andreas _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
