Description of problem: I can't update any software, the kernel, or yum itself. I can't run yum clean all, either. I get this when I try to run yum update: # yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit rpmdb: Thread/process 2538/3087918784 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30975) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 229, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 84, in main base.getOptionsConfig(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 184, in getOptionsConfig enabled_plugins=self.optparser._splitArg(opts.enableplugins)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 192, in _getConfig self._conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 774, in readMainConfig yumvars['releasever'] = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 844, in _getsysver idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg) TypeError: rpmdb open failed I get this when I try to run yum clean all: # yum clean all Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit rpmdb: Thread/process 2538/3087918784 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30975) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 229, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 84, in main base.getOptionsConfig(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 184, in getOptionsConfig enabled_plugins=self.optparser._splitArg(opts.enableplugins)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 192, in _getConfig self._conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 774, in readMainConfig yumvars['releasever'] = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 844, in _getsysver idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg) TypeError: rpmdb open failed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I can't figure out which version (YUM errors whenever I try), but I successfully updated everything a few days to a week ago via the Package Manager, so it should be pretty recent. How reproducible: This happens every time I try to update via either the Package Manager or YUM. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the Package Manager (System Updater) and wait till the service tries to start 2. OR Run yum update from the terminal as root 3. Or Run the Package Manager (Add/Remove Software) Actual results: See above error messages. Expected results: System update completes successfully.
