installroot rpmdb errors from livecd-tools
Last modified: 2013-12-18 17:47:15 EST
livecd-tools-031-1.7.el6 After installing the chroot, there's a bunch of these errors: rpmdb: Build signature doesn't match environment error: db3 error(-30971) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm In the install method of creator.py, you probably want to do this at the end: for path in glob.glob('%s/var/lib/rpm/__db*' % self._instroot): os.unlink(path)
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.

Workaround could be to put this in RHEL6 livecd kickstart %post: # cleanup rpmdb to allow non-matching host and chroot RPM versions rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative.
Are these errors from livecd-creator? Or after booting the image? We are already calling _cleanupRpmdbLocks at the end of ayum.runInstall() so there should not be any of these files on the target image. I checked a F15 minimal iso I just created and /var/lib/rpm/ doesn't have any __db* files in it.
We can't reproduce this problem, closing it out.
