I was trying to clean up some packages I didn't need, and kpackage crashed.
Here's the log:
[root@linux1 /etc]# kpackage &
[1] 9446
[root@linux1 /etc]#
[root@linux1 /etc]#
[root@linux1 /etc]# Update-menus[9444]: Script /etc/menu-methods//kde
recieved signal 11.
Unknown child process 9460 died
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kpackage path = <unknown>
[1]+ Exit 253 kpackage
[root@linux1 /etc]# kpackage &
[1] 9465
[root@linux1 /etc]# Unknown child process 9466 died
[root@linux1 /etc]# rpm -qa | grep gtk
could not read database record!
[root@linux1 /etc]# rpm --rebuilddb
record number 308504 in database is bad -- skipping it
[1]+ Done kpackage
[root@linux1 /etc]#
The problem now is that rpm --rebuilddb only got me a small portion of my
database! For example, none of my kde packages are included, even though
they're definitely installed - not even the kernel packages are included.
And for the really bad news, my data files are backed up, but my rpm database
wasn't. How can I recover my rpm database?
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
.../Ed
