similar to: rpm and yum issues

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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'm running a server with Centos 3 that I have set up a smbfs share to a Buffalo LinkStation. The LS has 4 drives configured with RAID 5. Each disk has 1 TB capacity, so the resulting drive is approximately 2.7 TB. When doing a df, the result shows 2 TB, and no used blocks. Is there some setting I can change so that Centos sees and uses all 2.7 TB or does Centos 3 not support this? Steve

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.

Greetings. I am planning on getting my RHCE in the near future. I thinking I should wait until 6 comes out before proceeding. That being said, I don't want to wait past the end of this year. That being said, do you all have any information about how long it takes for their training platform to catch up to their release? Which is to say, if RHES 6 is released on day 1, at what point

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

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

I am using Puppet 3.1.0 on a CentOS 6.3 machines. The puppet master and puppet agents use CentOS 6.3 as their OS. I have a puppet script (init.pp file for the puppet module) that contains the following exec type: exec { "postgres init": cwd => "/applications/module", command => "bash initializePostgres.sh", user => "postgres", group =>

Hi list, I'm new to Centos and I've a very small knowledge of selinux use. I can disable it, but I prefer take it on for study. I've a second mirrored device that I use for file sharing. This is the scenario: /dev/md2 mounted on /mnt/data To make samba working I must set the file context to the path at samba_share_t on /mnt/data. After this samba works. Now I'm setting up

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

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.

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

Greetings. Sorry for the OT, but I'm looking for some advice regarding archiving. I've always been a tape archive believer, but with SATA drives becoming more reliable and much larger, I'm wondering if it is time to change my opinion. What are the benefits/pitfalls to begin archiving to "enterprise" level SATA drives? Is it possible to use Amanda or Bacula to archive

Hi All, I wonder if someone can help. My rpm db was corrupted. So I ran rm -f __db* followed rpm rebuild db which ran OK.
