Hello list,
I killed my RPMDB, propably by misusage. This is how I did it: I upgraded
from RPM-5.1.9 to 5.3.10. I ran dbconvert.sh (which told me that the
conversion failed), but repeated usage of db_recover -ev and rpm --rebuilddb
finally got things in order. I'm using a chroot, which went the same path.
However, after using "rpm -r /my/chroot -Uvh ...", the RPMDB *outside* the
chroot is corrupted. When running "rpm -qa", this is what I get:
- ---%<---

How, db_convert and rpm --rebuilddb don't help anymore. The latter one
prints:

The underlying BDB version is 5.1.25.
I'd be grateful for any hint, and also some explainations about why I did it
to kill the system rpmdb using "rpm -r".
TIA!
Eric
