I've got a RHEL 5 box installed a couple weeks ago. Today I tried to run "yum update" and got a "Could not determine what version of Red Hat Linux you are running." error. I ran "rpm --rebuilddb" as the error message suggested which did nothing to fix my problem. I then deleted the RHN entry for the server and tried to re-register. After the register process took my user name and password I got the following error.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RPM error. The message was: Could not determine what version of Red Hat Linux you are running. If you get this error, try running rpm --rebuilddb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How can I recover from this and what is going on?
Kent, Did you try deleting the old rpm db files before running rpm --rebuilddb? If not you might try moving or deleting /var/lib/rpm/__db.00? and then running rpm --rebuilddb. Sometimes that helps.
