Id vote for this bug. I recently corrupted my /var/lib/rpm/* such that sudo rpm --rebuilddb failed hard: [jimc@harpo rpm]$ sudo rpm --rebuilddb rpmdb: Thread/process 21561/3079325376 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30974) I ended up having to delete the files, --initdb, manually reinstall fedora-release-14-0.7 then sudo yum shell would work, before installing release-14, repolist etc wouldnt work.. rpm -qa now shows 2 installed packages. rpm --verify is no help at all, it wont check files unless it thinks they were installed from rpms. --rebuilddb should IMHO: starting with base-packages that should be installed, verify that the files on the HD match the (supposedly) not-installed rpm, when a majority of package files are found to match the checksums, rpm should record the package as installed, such that rpm -qa will report it, and subsequent rpm --verify will check it. AFAIK, without a real --rebuilddb, my system is not recoverable such that I can verify it. Everything works now, but I cannot know that the current content of /usr/bin/ is as it should be, never mind 6 months from now. perhaps --verifyfiles, --rebuilddbfull, --rescanfs is needed to denote the extra work.
uhm, it seems that verify still works, at least appears to check that filesystem still looks ok $ rpm -Vv filesystem-2.4.35-1.fc14.i686 | head -10 ......... / ......... /bin ......... /boot ......... /dev ......... /etc ......... /etc/X11 ......... /etc/X11/applnk ......... /etc/X11/fontpath.d The main verify complaint still stands though, without rpm -qa showing whats installed, its hard to enumerate packages to verify. Worse, installs will happen without checking current files; I (re) installed perl, and they then appeared in -qa output, but if config files had been altered by me, the rpmnew clobber protection would probably not have happened (I didnt check).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
