Description Axel Thimm 2004-05-30 10:33:55 UTC

Description of problem:
I am trying to get rpm 4.3.1 running on FC1. The build (based on FC2'
src.rpm) completes OK, but upgrading to the built rpm gives:

# rpm -q rpm
rpmdb: Berkeley DB library configured to support only DB_PRIVATE
environments
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
package rpm is not installed

# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.3.1-0.3_23.rhfc1.at

I tried with and without posixmutexes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rebuild src.rpm from FC2
2.install new rpm rpms
3.Try to use rpm in any operation

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2004-05-30 14:45:24 UTC

You are encountering the O_DIRECT failure opening
a dbenv.

Which means you have misbuilt rpm somehow. db-4.2.52
disables O_DIRECT if built in the correct environment,
see the configure spew.
