On my embedded system (based on MontaVista (based on Redhat)) I am using RPM V4.0 After doing an "rpm --initdb; rpm --rebuilddb" I'd like to install an RPM, but it complains about the database format: cannot open Basenames index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) --> The rpm database cannot be opened in db3 format. If you have just upgraded the rpm package you need to convert your database to db3 format by running "rpm --rebuilddb" as root. cannot open Providename index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) cannot open Conflictname index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) Actually, the 3 files it is complaining about don't even exist. The only file that does exist in /var/lib/rpm is Packages. Looking at my Fedora 2 system, there are many _more_ files in that directory too! How am I supposed to create these other files? or isn't rpm supposed to create these other files?
