Ok, after Googling around I found this solution: Download following packages from: ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rpm-4.0.4-6x/ popt-1.6.4-6x.21.i386.rpm rpm-4.0.4-6x.21.i386.rpm (and others if you need them) Upgrade them: rpm -Uvh rpm-4.0.4-6x.21.i386.rpm popt-1.6.4-6x.21.i386.rpm (ps. I had to remove ucd-snmp and ucd-snmp-utils as they depend on rpm-4.0.2!) After upgrading just run rpm --rebuilddb and everything works again. I strongly suggest releasing rpm-4.0.4 officially as this bug seems to bother many people and it's not trivial to find a way to fix it. Additionally, you can downgrade back to rpm-4.0.2 after you've rebuilded your rpm db with rpm-4.0.4. This might be required if you use fe. apt or something else that requires rpm-4.0.2. Downgrading to rpm-4.0.2 is silly, recompile whatever packages have dependencies is better solution. Make sure you do --rebuilddb to convert from db1 ->db3, traceback shows that you have not done this. Hi. What part of downgrading to _official_ version of RPM you find silly? :o I don't compile any packages myself if I just can avoid it. And I will avoid it as there's no reason to do it. That's RedHat's task. :) Secondly, what do you mean by converting db1 -> db3? Do you mean that upgrading from RPM 3.x to 4.0.2 does not do it automatically? If not, there's a bug in RPM 4.0.2 spec obviously. And last, why did you mark this as "WORKSFORME" as there's clearly a bug? Even if there's a solution to go around this bug, it does not mean the bug is gone away. |
