Andrey, thanks. We are getting somewhere:
[11:34 alchemy:~] # rpm --dbpath=/var/lib/rpm -qa error: dbiOpen: dbapi 1 not available error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm error: dbiOpen: dbapi 1 not available error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
[11:35 alchemy:~] # rpm --showrc | grep dbpath {shows nothing}
Well, looks like the most part is gone:
bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> grep -r dbpath /usr/lib/rpm /usr/lib/rpm/macros:%_dbpath %{_var}/lib/rpm /usr/lib/rpm/macros:%_dbpath_rebuild %{_dbpath} /usr/lib/rpm/macros:%_keyringpath %{_dbpath}/pubkeys/ /usr/lib/rpm/macros:%_rpmlock_path %{_dbpath}/.rpm.lock
You could download RPM with these files and simply extract content using rpm2cpio (or reinstall using rpm --dbpath):
bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/macros rpm-4.11.1-6.5.1.x86_64
You can also extract files from an RPM using mc.
You can use MC directly on the RPM file without rpm2cpio or cpio.
That's what I did, and it turned out that the missing files were in /usr/lib/rpm. I extracted rpm-4.8.0-28.29.1.x86_64.rpm with
rpm2cpio rpm-4.8.0-28.29.1.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
Then used mc to compare files in ~/tmp/rpm/usr/lib/rpm and /usr/lib/rpm and then just copied the missing files. Now:
Thanks Ken, Carlos, Andrey, Patrick, All for your help!
