Re: PANIC on RPMDB... can't even get version numbers for installed packages...

[Casimiro de Almeida Barreto]

I did the same procedure as I'd do with M$... 1) Reboot the system 2) ftp download.fedora.redhat.com 3) download glibc* 4) rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps glibc-comm* (yeah... after a reboot rpm works) 5) rm glibc-comm* && rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps glibc* And everything comes back to life...

If you experienced any failures what were they? Please back up your rpmdb (/var/lib/rpm) and create a bugzilla, preferably with the history above. Paul
