A colleague of mine has apparently trashed his rpm database. Red Hat EL
4. He was in the midst of a relatively major update, when up2sdate
crashed (he waits too long to update, but that's another story). Now
when he does 'rpm -qa|wc -l' it returns 47, and we all know that's not
accurate.
We've tried:
rpm --rebuilddb
rpmdb --rebuilddb
No joy. At first we received this 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'
We resolved this issue by reinstalling the rehat-release rpm.
Now we are receiving this error:
'error: db4 error(-30988) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested
page not found'
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
