From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: Hello, found a few bugs with similar problems, yet I can't get any solution to work. After I had installed a rpm package, webmin 1.050-1, the installation went okay, but as soon as I tried to install another rpm package (mysql server) it crashed. So then I tried to query to do rpm -qa and it reported the following [root@localhost rpm]# rpm -qa ksymoops-2.4.1-1 fortune-mod-1.0-16 pygtk-libglade-0.6.8-3 netscape-communicator-4.78-2 webmin-1.050-1 Segmentation fault [root@localhost rpm]# so then I went to the rpm webpage and ran through the hints section to try and rebuild the db using the page listed and when I ran the db verify it came up with this [root@localhost rpm]# /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages db_verify: Page 3359: overflow page of invalid type 0 db_verify: DB->verify: Packages: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed [root@localhost rpm]# anyway so then I tried the step of backing up my package listings and then do a dump then a load and it "worked", followed by the rpm -qa again once more the same error as above. HELP!!! :) I'll post a tar backup of my database at http://24.138.69.109/rpm/ or if there is a utility that will allow me to view the inner workings of my rpmdatabase I could remove the record for webmin, but I dunno Thanks JD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2 kernel 2.4.20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -qa 2. 3.

Hmmm, you have a screwed up rpmdb, duh. Looking, maybe I can resurrect, news at 11.
Look for rpmdb-102971.tar.gz at ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj in ~20 minutes. Install by doing cd /var/lib/rpm mv Packages Packages-DELETE cd .. tar xzvf rpmdb-102971.tar.gz rpm --rebuilddb -vv Can you also append any details about how webmin was installed? Thanks.
Hmmm, the file is actually rpmdb-102971-FIX.tar.gz, adjust procedure appropriately.
Thanks it seems to be working well now. As too how the install for webmin went, I can't be sure since it was about 2 weeks ago, but there was a error/connection failure when I was trying to install webmin remotely over ssh, dunno if that could have done it but its my old install of Linux updated and I am a newb :) Thanks again
