Description of Problem: [After I suggested running db_verify when he had rpm database problems] Neither db_verify nor db_recover -h had any effect and there is 10 gig free. Things started going down hill from there with freeze ups and huge lags. So I wiped the drive clean, repartitioned and started again. Nothing on the partition but the install of RH 7.2 from the cd I purchased. The OS installed fine but I try to rmp updates and I now get: db4 error -(30981) run recovery. Is there a work around? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Every time on this system Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed stock 7.2 on his system 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
Created attachment 56944 [details] Tarball of /var/lib files
I wiped and reinstalled RH again this time with a new hard drive. I set up my account and tried to update. While updating I received this error over and over 'error: db4 error (-30979) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed'. I try to db_verify or db_recover and I get a bash can't find command error. Now up2date will not run. I am not an expert but I think that something might be funky in this machine. Let me know when it is time to get a hammer and let the magic smoke out of the tower.
Can you give me a pointer (i.e. URL, not attachment, rpmdb's are too large for attchments)? Thanks.
Please reopen if you need help. Otherwise, I'm assuming a hardware problem.
