similar to: Upgrade 3.4 --> 3.7 went awry: rpmdb hosed

Has anyone seen this before? [root at shelob rpm]# yum update rpmdb: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?

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,

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

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

Hi all. Most of you already know about my problems (well, my computer's problems ;-) ), since we've been discussing on the forum. Hughesjr recommended me to post here, so let's see, I have my faith on you. I have a dedicated server with RH9 that I upgraded to CentOS 3.4 . Everything ok, but after the first yum upgrade and reboot I get this when I try to do a yum update: yum

After 2 good updates to 4.4, my 3rd is giving me trouble. I did all 3 installs the same: yum clean all yum update python-sqlite sqlite yum yum clean all yum upgrade This one, however, quits during the header download. I get "[Errno -1] Header not complete, trying another mirror", then "[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try". I am not going thru a proxy, and I can't find

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

This is a list of issues for discussion for CentOS-4. Most of it is based on my experience from building/maintaining CentOS-2 and observing CentOS-3. I have not seen the CentOS-4 beta yet so I don't know if any of this is already done. If these have been discussed on IRC then perhaps someone could produce a shot summary of the outcomes....? * Just call it CentOS-4 not 4.1 etc. Too

Hi, I have the x86_64 arch on my server so therfore i expect that yum updates only x86_64 packages. With the last *yum update* i?ve noticed a strange behaviour while retrieving the needed packeges. As you you see, yum wants install packages for different architectures: glibc x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 base 4.9 M glibc i686 2.3.4-2.25 base 5.1 M . .

I have recently deployed 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

I have 2 servers: On both, I did yum update. One upgraded the kernel, the other didn't. Why? TIA, Dave Augustus

Greetings All, How to does one go about reconfiguring centos's time zone configuration (to the eastern time zone (us)), via the command line? I have tested other GNU/Linux distribution's documentation, tools, files and relevant details with centos and have thus far been unable to find a compatible solution. My apologies if my question is very simple, I have done a fair amount of

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

i have downloaded the CentOS distribution that comes with Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) at http://www.xen.org/download/xcp/index.html. i am trying to install the parted utility. yum install parted however, i get the following message. Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process No package parted available. Nothing to do any ideas on what's

Hi , For reasons I will not go in to does anyone know if you can convert a RedHat RHEL4 box to CentOS 4 ? I am hoping this possible with our re installing . If it if what do I need to do to get the system to run yum instead of the RedHat updates. Thanks Arun -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm --rebuilddb" segmentation faults. Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it''s quite likely some files

Helo, I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support. But when y do a : # yum update The kernel from the base is more recent thant the centos plus repro I have tried with the http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities plug-in and it didn't take the right kernel :

Hi all, i'm trying out a netinstall test installation. When asked to where I do want to install I got a bunch of choices. If i select HTTP I insert: server: mirror.centos.org path: centos/$releasever/os/$basearch but then he says to me that he can't find the "boot.iso" in: http://mirror.centos.org//centos/$releasever/os/$basearch ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ please note the double

Indeed, in fact I'd be surprised if everyone was having this problem; I don't suppose 3.3 would have been released if they were. What I am suggesting is
