When i try to install anything using rpm -ivh i get the following error.
[root@localhost Linux_rpms]# rpm -ivh **************.rpm dbiTagsInit: unrecognized tag name: "Sha1header" ignored dbiTagsInit: unrecognized tag name: "Pubkeys" ignored error: unrecognized db option: "tmpdir" ignored error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm [root@localhost Linux_rpms]# rpm -qa mplayer rpm: one type of query/verify may be performed at a time Can anyone help me in this regard. Plz help me. I'm not able to install anything becoz of this |
rpm -qa gives a list of all installed rpms. You should either do
#rpm -q mplayer (to see which mplayer is installed) #rpm -qa | grep mplayer (to see all rpms with mplayer in their name installed) as for the erros generated, was the rpm made for your distro? |
I have already told that 'no rpm' is getting installed. Regarding rpm -qa , i tried
rpm -q mplayer and other things also. But it gives the same error. |
The reason I asked if you were trying to install an rpm that was not made for your system/distro is because it might expect to find things that you don't have or look in the wrong places.
It looks like you may have a problem with your rpm database. Try rebuilding it with 'rpm --rebuilddb' |
