RPMDB gives warnig on software that is not there
 
During my run of a kernel-complete-transaction, I got the follwing error or warning.

Code:
Transaction Test Succeeded
Running Transaction
Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

Now intel-compilerpro-common-319-12.1-10.noarch was on this computer a few years ago, but it has long since be removed. However, every once in a while, I get this warning. When I try to remove it yum says the software package is not there.

However, from the message it seems that the RPMDB thinks it is still there. So what can I do to stop geting this error and make sure no trace of intel-compilerpro-common-319-12.1-10.noarch is on my oersonal computer?

Thanks. R,

Either you have installed something directly (outside of yum) using rpm --install, or some application has altered the rpmdb. This is a warning. You can clear the warning with the command: yum clean all.

Then it would be a good idea to rebuild the rpmdb. Simply running the rpmdb command leaves you open to possible errors from which you will not be able to recover. There is a step by step procedure to follow to assure that you can recover it something goes wrong.

You can find the procedure listed here: http://linuxsysconfig.com/2013/03/re...-on-fedora-18/

I hope you find this helpful.

on fedora/RHEL/CentOS/SL this is normally used to clean the database

Code:
su -
---- root password when asked for ----
yum clean all
rpm --rebuilddb
yum update
