Hello redhat-list, Need help, I have the following problem with rpm database. ( F.Y.I, I have searched the archives and found no helpful information on this problem). My RPM database is hosed, how can I get out of this situation ?
I tried to rebuild the database, but get the following: [root@pongo root]# rpm --rebuilddb -v error: rpmdb: damaged header instance #137 retrieved, skipping. error: rpmdb: damaged header instance #199 retrieved, skipping. error: rpmdb: damaged header instance #296 retrieved, skipping. error: rpmdb: damaged header instance #298 retrieved, skipping. error: rpmdb: damaged header instance #300 retrieved, skipping. error: rpmdb: damaged header instance #302 retrieved, skipping. Segmentation fault I tried to reinitilize the database, but get the following: [root@doda root]# rpm --initdb -v rpmdb: First overflow page 2048 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 2048 rpmdb: First overflow page 2065 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 2014 rpmdb: First overflow page 1814 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 3596 rpmdb: First overflow page 2124 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Page 2124 encountered twice in overflow traversal rpmdb: First overflow page 1890 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 1878 rpmdb: First overflow page 875 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 3596 rpmdb: First overflow page 1909 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 4063 rpmdb: Overflow page 1922 of invalid type rpmdb: Overflow page 1978 of invalid type rpmdb: First overflow page 1256 has a prev_pgno rpmdb: Overflow item incomplete on page 3635 rpmdb: Page 2256 encountered a second time on free list error: db3 error(-30985) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed Both "rpm -qa" and "rpm -Va" cause a segfault. This started happening after downloading 7.2 errata from RedHat site...I beleive it was the latest KDE updates. I found a thread in the archive on this, but it never stated what the actual fix was... greatful for any help.
