Hi all,

This moring,I use yum to install packages,and the electric power shut down suddenly and my Desktop power off.

When the electric power on again,I use yum to install packages.And the error codes are as follows:

Code:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module>
    yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 309, in user_main
    errcode = main(args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 223, in main
    return_code = base.doTransaction()
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 625, in doTransaction
    resultobject = self.runTransaction(cb=cb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1481, in runTransaction
    lastdbv = self.history.last()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/history.py", line 1148, in last
    ret = self.old([], 1, complete_transactions_only)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/history.py", line 1097, in old
    executeSQL(cur, sql, params)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/sqlutils.py", line 166, in executeSQLQmark
    return cursor.execute(query)
sqlite3.DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed

Can some people tell me why and how to slove this problem?

Your hard disk might be damaged. check for disk errors using fdisk command

Try clean and rebuild RPM and YUM database:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm –rebuilddb
yum clean all

It doesn't work,the problem still exist.And I don't think my hard disk drive have error,because my Desktop can boot .

Run 'yum history new' and try again?
