Looking at the rpm changelog I see this is due to a patch since 4.4.8 -> 4.4.9 upgrade to preserve db compatibility, but now the dbconvert.sh script changed the hash with sed doing: s/^type=hash/type=btree/ > If you add -vv I can often guess from context.

I think rpm is working correctly, it's just a slow operation to be performed on a SD in a arm tablet with low performat compared to PC, this is why I'm looking for a way to recreate the indexes during db upgrade and not after so I can do the conversion in ram (or using any other method that is fast enough). > > rpm: rpmdb.c:2193: rpmmiNext: Assertion `(size_t)p.size == sizeof(mi- > > > >> mi_offset)' failed. > > > > Aborted > > This is a sanity check on the data returned from an rpmdb: totally "can't > happen". :-O > > Yes I think I've learned it, but is this available with db 4.7 too? > > I haven't personally used db-4.7 with "RPM ACID". My choice to stay with 4.7 was determined by the idea of easing the db upgrade. But considering that I need in any case to do 'db_dump-47 | .. | db_load-47 Packages', couldn't I just do 'db_dump-47 | .. |db_load-51' and go to 5.1 as well with no greater complexity than staying with 4.7?
