Sometimes, the RPM database is broken. Than, when you try to install packages
with YaST, you get some complicate error messages like
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallido: error: db4 error(-30987) from
dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) setting "System/Libraries" records from Group index
error: db4 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page
not found
error: error(-30987) getting "System/Libraries" records from Group index
or
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallido: error: db4 error(-30987) from
dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index
Executing 'rpm --rebuilddb' fixes the problem, but that's not user friendly.
It would be great if libzypper could the this automatically when it notices
that there are problems with the RPM database.
Reproducible: Always
