Hi, We use Berkley DB 4.8 for some DB transactions. The DB utilities are already exported for Berkley DB 4.8. Berkley 4.8 is also used in our case to link with RPM 4.8.
However, we are planning to migrate to RPM 5.1.9. As part of this migration, I am able to compile RPM 5.1.9 externally with Berkley 4.8. I can also use the built rpm for queries etc. The problem comes when I try to install a package with --nodeps and initialize an RPMDB. A snippet is pasted below: [root@bgl-ng-install-vxr1 rpm-5.1.9]# ./rpm -ivh --nodeps --root=/tmp /tmp/cai-pkg-ncs6k-64.rp_lc-5.0.0-Default.x86_64.rpm Preparing... rpmdb: DB_ENV->add_data_dir: method not permitted after handle's open method rpmdb: stat: /tmp/usr/local/rpm5/__db.Basenames: No such file or directory rpmdb: Basenames: No such file or directory error: cannot open Basenames(1117) index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) rpm: rpmdb.c:3693: rpmdbFindFpList: Assertion mi !=3D ((void *)0)' failed.</p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal">= Aborted (core dumped)</p> <br></div><div>I am not sure what sort of changes would be needed to get th= is working. <br></div><div>I looked over the forum but failed to find any p= atches available for RPM 5.1.9 to support external Berkley.<br></div><div> <br><br></div>Thanks and Regards,<br><div><div>Bishwajit Goswami<br> </div></div></div> </div><br></div>
