rpm --rebuilddb [as root]
Yes, I make it many times a day, but it not resolves the problem. The rebuilddb does not remove the references to the old packages do'nt present in the system (upgraded many times). For example now I has rebuilding the rpmdb, and it terminated with:
rpmdb: page 851: illegal page type or format rpmdb: PANIC: Argumento inválido error: db4 error(-30977) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error(-30977) from db->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error(-30977) from dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
I had a similar problem time ago, reported in bugzilla 225630. There was a database problem upstream, outside of the rpm code, which I don't know if was even investigated or solved. What I did in the end was finding at what package the rpm command crashed, then I forced removal of the package which install made rpm crash and reinstalled it again, to force the database to clear. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
