I am running RedHat9 and am not having any rpm problems.
try using 'rpm -ivh filename.rpm' to install. what is the -ivvv switch anyways? after installing all rpms for the day run 'updatedb' . |
enter the following in console -
#export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 and try... You can enter the same to your login file to avoid typing it everytime... The prob is coz u r using the newer kernel (I think;)) http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html has more info... |
Another RPM error
Hi,
I am a Linux newbie and just installed Redhat Linux 9. Everything went on smoothly but just before the first boot I got the following error: rpmdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery After the boot, I found that Linux loads in X Windows Manager with xterm ....etc (dunno what to call it). No Gnome in spite of having installed it. Switchdesk commands kept saying that gnome is not installed. While upgrading the Gnome packages, I realized that the 'gnome-icon-theme' package did not install properly. My attempts to install that package gave the same error. Thinking that there might be a problem with my installation media, I downloaded the package from the internet and used RPM to install it. Again got the following error: rpmdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error(-30982) from db->get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery Using rpm -ivh didn't help... Can anybody help? Thanks in advance. Vishal |
the #LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 worked for me..

at last some appreciation:D

RPM died on me too
:(
Running 'rpm -qa' as root gives: Code:
rpmdb: unable to join the environment I ran: Code:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.6.6 I've tried: Code:
cd /var/lib Oh, and /var is 63% full ... so it's got lots of space. Any other ideas? |
Update
Update ... Running 'rpm -qa' as a non-root user works
|
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 works but only under the shell console. Graphical RPM still crashes including redhat-config-packages and graphical RPM installers when ran not from shell. Why is this?
|
Thank you kindly. This information is very usefull for me. Great site! Thanks again!
