Hint: as root or via sudo "rpmdb --rebuilddb" Please look at the manpage first, it's short. "man rpmdb" Also, that can take some time, plan for it to take hours, be happy if its done sooner.
Don't be surprised if much sooner. I don't think I've seen it take as long as 2 minutes since moving from 32bit to 64bit and EXT4.
On a clean database from a "fresh install" e.g. fresh Leap 15.0 and only updates since then, no upgrades / distro changes to e.g. 15.1 or Tumbleweed, then yes, it takes usually less than 10 minutes. But in my experiance, long time used systems, e.g. "it stated as 10.0, and I've upgrades regulary since" and more often than not not "top-of-the-line" hardware (at least by todays standards), then, if corruption occurs, it will take longer, much longer. Longest I've ever had was just shy of eleven hours: core2duo, rotating rust, 4GB Ram, upgraded since first install. No fun. Re-Installing the system later the same week on new hardware i7-7xxx, 32GB Ram, 500GB NVME + 2TB NVME + 5*8TB HDD sw-raid, including reconfig all users, reconfig all software, moving all user-data, took about five hours, three of them to download+install all the OS+software. To be forewarned makes life much less frustating. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
