This seems to be the error - it's not able to open your RPM db in /var/lib/rpm. Are you running SELinux? I see you're running it via sudo, which could be the issue if you're running SELinux but not specifying the role in the sudoers file. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
