similar to: Fwd: Re: yum updated to 3.3, rpmdb corrupted

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

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,

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 am in the process of 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

Alle, I'm running CentOS 4.8.

Hi, After a successful upgrade CentOS 3.8 i386 to CentOS 4.4 x86_64 and, after cleaning old 3.8 packages, yum does not update the x86_64 packages but just the i386's. The rhn-applet see the x86_64 updates but neither yum nor up2date see them. When I run: # yum -d 3 check-update Yum Version: 2.4.3 COMMAND: yum -d 3 Installroot: / Setting up repositories Baseurl(s) for repo:

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

Greetings. I am having issues with rpm/yum on a centos 5.2 x86_64. I am trying to update from 5.2 to 5.4. During yum update, the application became unresponsive during the package search. It had not begun to download any packages. I tried to do a "yum clean all", but that wouldn't complete either. I tried to do a rpm --rebuild, but that failed with a segmentation fault. Tried

Hi, just some script built along: Unattended install & run CentOS-4.1 just using chroot(1). Mostly a surprise for me it was so easy to reach that goal. It requires rpm(1) based host OS and it was tested only on Fedora Core 4. I needed it to do only a bit customized CentOS kernel package rebuild.

When doing yum operations I get this message at the end of whatever yum was doing: ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: brscan4-0.4.8-1.x86_64 is a duplicate with brscan4-0.4.3-1.x86_64 It is true, if I do "rpm -qa | grep brscan" it shows two of them. what's the best/proper way to deal with this? -remove both, reinstall one? -remove one?

I just loaded CentOS 5 on a new x86_64 machine I built for my wife. I am converting her from the dark $ide. :-) I started getting the following messages from yum: ]: yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Hi everyone -- I have a number of systems here running CentOS 5.2 and 5.3. Recently, I tried adding a package unrelated to R and found that yum is complaining about the R repo. Here's the error I get when running yum update: ---- $ sudo yum update [snip] http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/el5/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum

Howdy, If ever somebody here might have encountered this, the rpm -qa commands just stuck for ages on my box ( honestly this is rhel 3 box). I done rebuilding already the /var/lib/rpm/__db* as per KB article but to no avail. Any additional hints what's to look for? One thing I notice w/c I think is weird is that we I losf the process of rpm -qa that's freezing, it's looking
