Unable to start yum
I was going to use yum to update a software package, and I was confronted with the following error:
Component: Software Manager Summary: TB9f78d0ec main.py:244:execute:DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 363, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 359, in main pm.run() File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 286, in run self.doRefresh() File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 297, in doRefresh self.reposSetup(pbar) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/__init__.py", line 151, in reposSetup self.doSackSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 294, in doSackSetup self.pkgSack.excludeArchs(archlist) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 496, in excludeArchs cur.execute(querystring) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/sqlite/main.py", line 244, in execute self.rs = self.con.db.execute(SQL) DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed Local variables in innermost frame: self: <sqlite.main.Cursor instance at 0xb6d8ae8c> parms: () SQL: select * from packages WHERE arch != "i686" AND arch != "i586" AND arch != "i486" AND arch != "i386" AND arch != "noarch" What is the cause of this, and how do I fix it? Thanks. |
strange...
Sometimes when you do a ctrl + c , while yum is setting up the install processes, you get such wierd errors. Usually a restart is enough. If not try "yum clean all" as root. Try it and let me know.
