How can I edit the rpmdb to remove the references to all the packages
that are not installed. In the rpmdb appear as installed about 4
different versions from the same package.
man rpm
search for rebuilddb
rpm --rebuilddb [as root]
Yes, I make it many times a day, but it not resolves the problem. The
rebuilddb does not remove the references to the old packages do'nt
present in the system (upgraded many times).
For example now I has rebuilding the rpmdb, and it terminated with:
rpmdb: page 851: illegal page type or format
rpmdb: PANIC: Argumento inválido
error: db4 error(-30977) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run database recovery
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30977) from db->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error,
run database recovery
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30977) from dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run database recovery
Thanks
Stumbled upon http://www.internetguru.com.au/igblog-127.html , an old
blog post which in turn links to http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/
Both might be of interest
