rpm failing after upgrade
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:06 EST
Description of problem: Upgrading from FC2 to FC4t3 using the standard CDs is causing a major snafu with rpm post install (including the boot loader not being found - see the additional comments for packages failed to install) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC4t3 CDs How reproducible: Unsure, I've only done this once though it didn't occur when upgrading from FC2 to FC4t2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the FC4t3 CDs to upgrade an FC2 box to FC4t3 2. 3. Actual results: rpm fails to work giving the following messages rpmdb : Program version 4.2 does not match environment version error : db4 error (22) from dbenv->open : Invalid argument error : cannot open package index using db3 - invalid argument (22) error : cannot open packages in /var/lib/rpm I originally tried to clear this by deleting the old __db files in /var/lib/rpm and /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat and doing a rebuild. Expected results: The update should have worked Additional info: Some of the packages I've noticed which were not installed during the update includes kernel xorg-x11 yum rpm There are quite a few others as well.
Please attach the upgrade logs individually and uncompressed, so we can investigate why packages were not upgrade. /root/upgrade.log /var/log/anaconda*

Hmm we have a lot of these type errors: error: %post(net-tools-1.60-52.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 Were you running SELinux in fc2? Is it possible your filesystem labels were out of sync? Could you try an upgrade with selinux=0 and disabling selinux in anaconda (you can redo post boot with system-config-securitylevel and reboot so we get the labels done).
One more report of a similar problem. Here is the result of $ grep fail upgrade.log error: %trigger(redhat-lsb-1.3-4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: %post(libwmf-0.2.8.3-8.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: %post(librsvg2-2.9.5-2.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: %post(gnome-utils-2.10.0-3.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: %pre(screen-4.0.2-9.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 10 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping screen-4.0.2-9 For the suspected selinux issues here are /etc/grub.conf and /etc/sysconfig/selinux $ cat grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.

Did FC4 final fix this for you?
Yeah, I'll close it.
