Description Don Beusee 2000-10-02 20:09:09 EDT 
I took the following steps to install the 7.0 version of RPM on my 6.2
system:

Grabbed rpm-3.0.6.i386.tar.gz and untar'd it from /.
installed these packages:
glibc-devel-2.1.92-14.i386.rpm
db3-devel-3.1.14-6.i386.rpm
db3-3.1.14-6.i386.rpm
db2-devel-2.4.14-4.i386.rpm
db2-2.4.14-4.i386.rpm
db1-devel-1.85-4.i386.rpm
db1-1.85-4.i386.rpm
bzip2-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm
rpm2html-1.4-4.i386.rpm
rpm-python-4.0-4.i386.rpm
rpm-devel-4.0-4.i386.rpm
rpm-build-4.0-4.i386.rpm
rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm
glibc-2.1.92-14.i686.rpm
rpmlint-0.14-4.noarch.rpm
rpmdb-redhat-7.0-0.20000830.i386.rpm

After this step, any other rpm commands would tell me I need to run
-rebuiddb.  When I did this, it did nothing.  strace shows a bunch of
fstat32() calls with only hex args are failing.  What is missing?
The command returns very quickly with no messages, appearing to do
nothing.  No error, no converted database.  Re-installing
rpm-3.0.6.i386.tar.gz allows rpm (3.0.6) to work, proving the database is
not converted.
Comment 1 Don Beusee 2000-10-02 20:14:27 EDT 
Actually I think it was fstat64().
Comment 2 mhart 2000-10-02 23:31:12 EDT 
Shouldn't that be rpm --rebuilddb (note the two '-' characters), hopefully this 
will squash this bug quickly :)
Comment 3 Don Beusee 2000-10-03 02:01:42 EDT 
No such luck.  I did use --rebuilddb (2 '-'s).
# rpm --rebuilddb
# rpm -q -a
# 
Somehow it doesn't even complain any more that I need to rebuild.
Here is the strace for rpm --rebuilddb:

I left the system in this state in case you need more info.
BTW: file reports:
# file /var/lib/rpm/Packages

If I re-install rpm 3.0.6, it will correctly be able to list all the packages I
have installed.

Comment 5 Don Beusee 2000-10-04 06:09:06 EDT 
I have resolved the problem.  I removed Packages, installed the updated popt*
packages, and re-ran rpm --rebuilddb and it worked.
