Please note this same PC has Red Hat Linux 7.3 on it before I wiped the disks and installed 9.0 from scratch, reformatting all paritions. I had ZERO issues with rpm under 7.3. Also, it seems rpm is a bit slow with 4.9gb of packages installed. The "Prepare" phase takes a fairly long time even for one rpm update. You could try installing RPM 4.2-1 from here: ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.2/ Whenever I install RH 9, this is the first thing I do once I get past the firstboot wizard. This newer version of RPM 4.2 isn't perfect, but it's far far better than what ships with RH 9. Yes, you want rpm-4.2-1 as mentioned. Please reopen this bug if you have further problems. I just tried to run up2date --update --force, and it errors out with chatter
that looks like this:

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Dependencies should have already been resolved, but they are not.

And now (before any reboot) rpm is again flaking out like this:
####################################################
[root@boaz boot]# rpm -q rpm
rpmdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30982) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run
database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30982)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
package rpm is not installed

Probably a reboot will fix the rpm flakiness, but good thing it did not
half-bake install some rpms and not others or this would be a nightmare.
PLEASE REOPEN. RPM v4.2-1 which you (Redhat) recommended I install
is also unstable.
I rebooted, and since the up2date had downloaded all the rpm's I ram an rpm -Uvh on them, but RPM wound up timing out and stopped responding. I had to kill it and would have to reboot AGAIN and try again, and just maybe rpm will become more responsive, but it seems hit and miss now. I doubt that this specific problem is reproducible, but just in case, adding to the DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND pile *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88720 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I installed the full 3 CD's of Red Hat Linux 9.0 When I do rpm updates to up2date it seems the rpm database gets corrupted or something and I wind up rebooting and trying again or running rpm --rebuilddb I had install reformat all the paritions for this install of RHL 9.0 and I was only able to update errata by downloading it then using rpm -Uvh ... luckily after many tries got it all updated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.69 kernel-2.4.20-9 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to do rpm -U or an up2date 2. complains the database needs to be recovered Actual Results: rpm or up2date fail with rpm database error complains the database needs to be recovered Expected Results: should work fine Additional info: I will post the actual result next time it occurs. Should be soon.
