From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 Description of problem: I just tried to upgrade 7.2->7.2. The process failed reading the 3rd cdrom. Problem is, the rpm database was not updated. I tried querying rpm -q to check the versions of many packages, and they all still say older versions, even though I can independently verify that many were updated. Problem is, I don't see any way to recover from this. Although anaconda is able to do an update and resolve dependencies, I don't know any way for me to insert, say, a good cdrom3 and get rpm to update the stuff I missed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. update with a bad cdrom? 2. 3. Additional info:
That's because we are working in a lookaside database in /var/lib/rpm.rebuilddb -- if you move that to be /var/lib/rpm, instead, you get the new database.
