Description of problem: db_verify, needed for example by /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify may not be installed. It is in db4-utils.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
rpmdb_verify is db_verify from the internal version of Sleepycat. rpm -e db4-utils cd /var/lib/rpm /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages Works for me.
Indeed, I got it wrong. In fact I was confused by the error message of /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify which referred to db_verify, so I incorrectly assumed that rpmdb_verify was a wrapper... Sorry for the noise. Maybe the error message could be changed, but that may be too much work for little gain...
