Package: rpm Version: 4.4.1-7 Severity: normal Looks like current version of rpm doesn't work with kernel 2.4:
| magellan:~# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/* | magellan:~# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.21 rpm --initdb | rpmdb: unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented | rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/__db.001: unable to initialize environment lock: Function not implemented | error: db4 error(38) from dbenv->open: Function not implemented | rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See README.Debian. | error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Function not implemented (38) I stumpled across this problem on an up-to-date unstable system with an official Debian kernel-image of 2.4.27. The real problem is the error message, which should be more precise.
