Description

The crash should be gone as of current rawhide due to using db 4.7.x instead of 4.5.x. Doesn't mean the db environment can actually be shared between 32/64bit processes (you just get an error message instead), but that's really been the case AFAIK. Thanks, confirming as fixed: $ rpm -qv rpm rpm-4.6.0-4.fc11.ppc $ ./rpm.ppc64/usr/bin/rpmquery -qv rpm rpmdb: Build signature doesn't match environment error: db4 error(-30971) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30971) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm rpmdb: Build signature doesn't match environment error: db4 error(-30971) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm package rpm is not installed gdb.ppc64 also no longer crashes. Just the gdb rpmdb queries support does not work there due to rpmdb being in the ppc32 format. I was not aware of this incompatibility. Hmm. There's an extra gotcha here: the *database* is 32/64bit portable, the db environment is not. Going through the environment is the means to safe concurrent access to the db, but it is only used/usable with sufficient permissions to the rpmdb directory. Otherwise "private" locking (which is just about as good as no locking, but mostly works for read-only purposes) is used: [pmatilai@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --dbpath /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/root/var/lib/rpm/ glibc glibc-2.9.90-3.i686 [pmatilai@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost pmatilai]# rpm -q --dbpath /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/root/var/lib/rpm/ glibc rpmdb: Build signature doesn't match environment error: db4 error(-30971) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30971) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/root/var/lib/rpm rpmdb: Build signature doesn't match environment error: db4 error(-30971) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/root/var/lib/rpm package glibc is not installed In default Fedora setup, this equals to 32/64bit gdb accessing rpmdb working for regular users but not for root. Fun isn't it... |
