Good to be back.
I installed 9 on a machine, and when I invoke rpmdrake from
the command line, it examines the available hdlists, and then
it gives the following error:
rpmdb: region error detected; run recovery.
Couldn't open RPM DB at /usr/sbin/rpmdrake line 138.
I tried "rpm --rebuilddb" but got similar complaints:
rpmdb: region error detected; run recovery.
error: db4 error(-30981) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run data base recovery
error: cannot open Packages index
I also tried disabling all media sources other that the CDs,
but it makes no difference. I can't find any mention of recovery
in the rpm man page, or any other "recover" tools no the system.
I'd really rather not re-install from the ground, up. Any ideas?
