What does (from db4-utils packg)
/usr/bin/db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
say?
Otherwise I need a pointer (i.e. URL, attacments won't work)
to a tarball of your database:
cd /var/lib
tar czvf /tmp/rpmdb-83537.tar.gz rpm
/usr/bin/db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages doesn't report any errors. I even renamed Packages to Packages-BROKEN and tried: 'db_dump Packages-BROKEN | db_load Packages' Produced exactly same-sized Packages file. no changes afterwards.. Check http://www.xs4all.nl/~rhoekst/rpmdb-83537.tar.gz for my database. I hope you are able to reproduce. If not, I would like to hear what tips you have to help me.. 'rpm -K nc-1.10-16.i386.rpm' resulted in an OK status. 'rpm -V rpm' went okay as well Running "rpm --rebuilddb -vv" twice worksforme. Dunno why "twice", the 1st rebuild errors with D: read h# 478 Header SHA1 digest: OK (90415e835778e71eaa2f37cfe5b87682bf584149) D: +++ h# 359 Header SHA1 digest: OK (90415e835778e71eaa2f37cfe5b87682bf584149) D: adding "perl-IO-Multiplex" to Name index.

The first rebuild indeed produces a panic, also with me.. The second rebuild indeed finishes without problems. Though.. I am still unable to install packages.. still get the segmentation fault Are you using LDAP passwords? If so, make sure that
nscd is running
/sbin/service nscd start
Otherwise, add -vv to an install, attach output here.
Ahh boooh... It works again. You're right. I installed LDAP for authentication yesterday, but never thought of conflicts with rpm! So it isn't a bug.. thanks very much.. the problem is solved now.. Not sure why it doesn't work without nscd, nor why it works on my RedHat 7.2 machine (also LDAP, never had problems). Thanks very much anyway. (I looked up documentation for rpm, but it doesn't tell about it, unfortunately) |
