Description Michal Nowak 2009-09-14 09:00:28 UTC

Description of problem:

When bug 523140 is trigged, but via debuginfo-installit spits this horrible traceback:

newman abrt-root $ sudo debuginfo-install totem
rpmdb: Thread/process 25047/3087275712 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

    raise Errors.YumBaseError("Error: " + e.message)
yum.Errors.YumBaseError: Error: rpmdb open failed


Can it be shaped in some way to one line error msg?

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

Comment 1 seth vidal 2009-09-16 12:13:28 UTC

Same root cause has been fixed in 523140. However, having debuginfo-install do a better job catching errors is still on the list.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 12:21:13 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 3 Tim Lauridsen 2010-04-30 13:14:28 UTC

YumBaseError catching was fixed in yum-3.2.26.
