Description of problem: Now we are frequently facing the rpmdb error, while executing the rpm query commands. Even we tried to re-build the db - but after sometime it exists. Especially during the yum-update. it works after clearing the db files and re-building the db. But my question here, is the db is getting corrupted or something else ?? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rhel 4 Actual results: Failed fetching cluster dependency rpmdb: Thread/process 25356/140122735929248 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30974) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Expected results: Shouldnt get this error without any WA. I want a fix it shouldnt appear again. Additional info:
Hi Daniel, Could you please check and update me? Its blocking me here..!
It was most likely this problem, rebuilding rpm db would fix it: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6903 RHEL 4 is EOL already, closing the bug.
