Get the source from CVS http://www.rpm.org/cvs.html follow the CVS instructions to dowload the directory (get cvs rpm's if you don't have cvs installed). Also get the latest libtool (1.3.5) as you need this. Once you have this all you need to do is to run the autogen.sh and make and make install. This converts the databases and does everything else without a glitch. I also used rpm.spec in cvs to build new rpms for 4.0-0.45 and they worked fine. I am not sure what rawhide is doing so that their rpm's for rpm-4.0 are having lots of problems. This was the same story with 0.33! Argg, I can't get the source from the CVS tree to compile. Would someone be so kind as to email me their own good RPM? Any help would be greatly appreciated! <sting.com> That gdb of your core dump is useless, look cloesly near the beginning
of the gdb output:
warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
Core was generated by `/usr/lib/rpm/rpmq -q -- rpm'.
try doing:
gdb /usr/lib/rpm/rpmq core
That will get an accurate core dump to do a bt on. When you do, post
it here, otherwise not much can be extracted from your gdb output.

Is this still a problem? If so, send me mail <jbj> and I'll send you a conversion procedure. Otherwise, I'll chalk this problem up to converting from db3-3.0.55 -> db3->3.1.14 between beta1 and beta2. |
As follows...the upgrade did appear to take place as all the files in /var/lib/rpm were timestamped with the new date, yet the rpm database seems to still be unusable... [root@tornado reuben]# rpm -q rpm db3 error(-30990) performing db->open: DB_OLDVERSION: Database requires a version upgrade db3 error(-30990) performing db->open: DB_OLDVERSION: Database requires a version upgrade --> The rpm database is in db1 format, not the suggested 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. [root@tornado reuben]# rpm --rebuilddb db3 error(-30990) performing db->open: DB_OLDVERSION: Database requires a version upgrade db3 error(-30990) performing db->open: DB_OLDVERSION: Database requires a version upgrade [root@tornado reuben]# rpm -q rpm --> An rpm database in db1 format exists in /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm. Please convert to db3 format by running "rpm --rebuilddb" as root. Segmentation fault (core dumped) [root@tornado reuben]# And it got really yukky when I went to downgrade to rpm-3.05. I had to manually copy the binary of /bin/rpm from another system since the newer one just installed could not read the converted database... A GDB dump appears to be not a lot of use but here it is anyway: [root@tornado /tmp]# gdb rpm core GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
