Description RHN APAC SE FedEx 2004-09-10 02:27:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
rpm --rebuilddb doesnot recover the rpmdb. db_verify gives 
error "Program version 4.1.25 doesn't match the 
environment version 4.1.24"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Most rpm or applications shown "not installed" from the "Add/Remove 
Applications" menu option.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /var/lib/rpm
2. rm -f __db.00*
3. rpm --rebuilddb -vv
4. db_verify 
  
Actual results:
Program version 4.1.25 doesn't match the 
environment version 4.1.24

Expected results:
rpm database rebuilt

Additional info:
System still runs fine. Do not want to re-install as the Oracle is 
running.
Comment 1 Tim Powers 2004-09-10 02:33:52 UTC 
Changing component to rpm since that's actually what you're having issues with.
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2004-09-10 09:03:59 UTC 
What does the following say:
    cd /var/lib/rpm
    rm -f __db*
    /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages

I'm also unsure why db_verify is 4.1.24.

Could you supply the output of
    rpm -qf `which db_verify`
to identify which package installed db_verify?
