I have tried to upload (attach) a tar of the /var/lib/rpm dir, but modem, isp, Mozilla og bugzilla won't play ball - sorry. Created attachment 28016 [details]
/var/lib/rpm
Recreate Packages using db_dump/db_load: cd /var/lib/rpm mv Packages Packages-ORIG db_dump Packages-ORIG | db_load Packages Ok I have already tried that, but when I do a rpm -qa I get: ZIP .... ZIP kernel-2.4.2-2 portmap-4.0-35 pump-0.8.11-1 VFlib2-2.25.1-12 ypbind-1.7-6 autorun-2.65-1 Segmentation fault (core dumped) I have tried to run the litle program you made for another similiar bug, to delete bad records. It outputs: fix record[0] at #562 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x232, data at 0x804e2c0[5352]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x232, data at 0x804e2c0[5352]. fix record[1] at #566 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x236, data at 0x804e2c0[5940]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x236, data at 0x804e2c0[5940]. fix record[2] at #559 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x22f, data at 0x804e2c0[5644]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x22f, data at 0x804e2c0[5644]. fix record[3] at #561 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x231, data at 0x804e2c0[3200]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x231, data at 0x804e2c0[3200]. fix record[4] at #563 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x233, data at 0x804e2c0[8212]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x233, data at 0x804e2c0[8212]. fix record[5] at #560 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x230, data at 0x804e2c0[14404]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x230, data at 0x804e2c0[14404]. fix record[6] at #564 -- db: get key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x234, data at 0x804e2c0[9576]. db: del key: 0xbffffa30[4] = 0x234, data at 0x804e2c0[9576]. but rpm -qa still seg.faults at the same place. rpm -vv -rebuilddb goes: ZIP ... ZIP D: +++ 350 ypbind-1.7-6 D: adding "ypbind" to Name index. D: adding 9 entries to Basenames index. D: adding "System Environment/Daemons" to Group index. D: adding 21 entries to Requirename index.

D: adding 9 entries to Requirename index. D: adding 1 entries to Providename index. Segmentation fault (core dumped) OK, give me a pointer (i.e. URL, bugzilla attachments won't work) to a tarball of your database cd /var/lib tar czvf /tmp/rpmdb3-51836.tar.gz rpm and I'll figger what's up. I will get you one tomorrow, but why does bugzilla attachment not work - what use is it then?? Attachments work fine, but can't handle 5Mb+ rpm databases. The bzip2'ed tar of /var/lib/rpm can now be found at: ftp://ftp.dmi.dk/pub/oersted/rpm.tar.bz2 Hi jbj, I am aware that this could possibly be a bug that you are not obliged to correct, and I am thankful that you have offered to correct it anyway. Is there anything I could do, to get around this bug? Some db editing tools around so that I can correct my db myself? Best regards, Sorry for the delay, I lost you in the MODIFIED state. I've repaired (by doing a rpm --rebuilddb with rpm-4.0.3) your database. Your rpm/Packages file and a log are at ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rpmdb3-51836-FIX.tar.gz Do the following cd /var/lib/rpm mv Packages Packages-ORIG cd .. tar xzvf rpmdb3-51836-FIX.tar.gz rpm --rebuilddb |
