search for: rebuilddb

Okay, I have over 9 gigs of spare room on my main hard drive, so I don't think var is filling up. I've set prelinking to be off (I think), and yet still, YUM continues to freeze my computer. If I try to do a search or install, about half the time it will go nuts on the hard drive, I lose control of the mouse, and eventually I have no choice but to hard reset. What's wrong with

...eployed a number of CentOS-3.4 boxes and I am seeing problems with rpm database apparent corruption. db4 errors like DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND. I have found that using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 seems to fix the problem but I can''t find much info on why or if doing that is good or bad. I have done --rebuilddb but with the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL that might be making thinks worse... I just don''t know. Does anyone here know anything about this problem?

I installed CentOS 3.4 from a CD image I'd burned a while ago, and then attempted to update with yum to 3.7. All the packages installed OK, but at the very end of final cleanup I got an error message from db4 saying to "RUN RECOVERY". I did "rpm --rebuilddb" which may have been the wrong thing -- it issued an error about "pages missing". I then ran it again, and it came back with no errors, but after rebooting (for the kernel update) "rpm -qa" lists only a dozen packages or so, of which "rpm" is not one, and "y...

...updating a dozen or so workstations from CentOS 4.3 to CentOS 4.4. I set up a local YUM repository, and have been able to successfully update all systems except for one. Both yum and rpm either hang or core dump on this system. I've done a "yum clean all" and an "rpm --rebuilddb" (after deleting the __db files). I was able to successfully update yum itself, but now even a "yum --version" or "rpm -q yum" hang and can only be killed with a "kill -9 <pid>". Any suggestions on how to proceed? I had no problems on any of the o...

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can someone tell me where this variable is defined, and...

Hi, I've made mysqlf a RPM and installed it. After that i did what i shouldn' do: remove the files it installed. Now, i wnat to install it agai and i can't. Already rebuilt the rpm database ( rpm -vv --rebuilddb), used --force, --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, --justdb, --erase, --initdb, but no good. Been at rpm.org, but found nothing that i already know. Any help would be appreciated. Warm regards, M?rio Gamito

I am running CentOS 6.5 in a VZ container and today when I wanted to run yum update command I receive the following error messages: rpmdb: unable to join the environment error: db3 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

I'd guess this is probably something pretty specific to my test box, but when I yum updated to 3.3 my rpmdb got totally hosed. Unfortunately, I didn't save the error that occured at the time because a rpm --rebuilddb _appeared_ to fix the problem. Unfortunately I found out later that I was left with a db that only contained a subset of the actual install base. I'm now trying to recover from the /var/log/rpmpkgs file. Later I will be adding /var/lib/rpm to my backups.... Like I said, its probably my mach...

All of a sudden yum hangs on a Centos 4.5 (updated to the latest patch before 4.6) when I try to use it. "clean metadata" didn't help. The output of -d5 shows it gets to the point of "Reading Local RPMDB" and then sits there. The process doesn't die, but doesn't seem to do anything from that point on. strace shows this: futex(0xb76dcae8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I

I tried the normal "rpm is damaged" sequence of: rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages rpm --rebuilddb But that did not help the situation. Are there any suggestions on how to get rid of this one piece and get past this error? I tried a -f on the rpm -e and it failed the same way. Bob Styma

I contemplated doing that but felt I needed to better understand the problem, first.

Yeah, the only reason I deleted them is because googling suggested it was worth doing before a rebuilddb.

Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Redhat 3AS server, but I'm encountering problems. The first problem was, I didn't know what repository to use. I settled on http://mirror.centos.org/, but using it is strange, as not all mirror servers have all of the directories, and so sometimes links appear broken, but the problem goes away if I hit reload. A number of them have empty directories,
