Hi Folks
I have a problem with rpmdb. "rpm -v --rebuilddb" hangs with:
"warning: waiting for transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000"
The file /var/lib/rpm/__db.000 is zero in size:
[morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ stat /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
File: `/var/lib/rpm/__db.000'
Size: 0 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular
empty file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 1009003 Links: 1

Change: 2006-12-30 23:07:08.000000000 +1300
[morgan@morgansmachine ~]$
Can I replace "__db.000" with any of the other files (__db.001,
__db.001, ..., etc)?
Is there a lock file somewhere I can delete?
Yum update hangs with:
"rpmdb: lock_downgrade: Lock is no longer valid"
History:
- I used yumex to remove a package (yum-fedorakmod), and it hung with
python at 100% cpu (more or less).
- I couldn't kill python, so rebooted.
- I used yum to remove the package, it was already removed
- I ran "yum update", it hung (as above)
- I ran "yum clean all"; it failed with "TypeError: rpmdb open failed"
- I ran "rpm -v --rebuilddb"; it hung
Any help on how to fix would be very much appreciated. I'm just leaving
everything running until I sort this as I figure things might be a
little unstable. Below, is output of the rebuiilddb, update and clean
commands.
Thanks,
Morgan.
