I encountered similar issues with 9 Beta 2.
Seems like urpmi and rpmdrake could lead into this error. After searching for "all the right stuff" to make sure it was installed and also finding a file that goes along with rpmdrake and doesn't seem to get installed with rpm -Uvh... Such problems seems to have cleared up a bit. I cannot get the db4 error now. Somewhere in the mix of everything I had done a --rebuilddb also. I would like to know what the root cause would be for such a message as this, so I can keep a closer eye on it. --------------------------------------------- > error: db4 error(-30979) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database > verification failed What are the set of dependencies that can yield this ? merely corrupt rpm database ? that simple ? or missing or wrong version perl module ? Or missing or wrong symlink to a .so ? or what ?
