Re: [qmailtoaster] Clamav 0.95.1 issue

Solved the issue. It was a rpmdb problem obviusly. I ll post the solution here in case someone need it.

Make a backup of /var/lib/rpm in case you break something:
tar cvzf rpmdb-backup.tar.gz /var/lib/rpm

Remove the Berkeley databases that rpm uses:
rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*

Make rpm rebuild the databases from scratch (may take a short while):
rpm --rebuilddb

Now, check rpm to make sure everything is okay:
rpm -qa | sort

Why does this happen?
When rpm accesses the Berkeley database files, it makes temporary locker entries within the tables while it searches for data. If you control-c your rpm processes often, this issue will occur much sooner because the locks are never cleared.

Regards.

Greetings List,

I've got the following error trying to install the last clamav update on CentOS 5.2


Installing clamav-toaster-0.95.1-1.3.27.src.rpm
rpmdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries
rpmdb: Unknown locker ID: 8bd
error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->close: Invalid argument

Any idea? It's the first time I have an error like that.
