RPM REBUILD Question

Hi I have issue running rpm -qa command and it says db_runrecovery fatal error run database recovery

Is there will be no issue running a rpm -rebuild command?

Thank you.

It's rpm --rebuilddb (note the double dashes and db). However, a proper recovery procedure may require more than this. Before running the command, please see

https://rpm.org/user_doc/db_recovery.html
https://www.thegeekdiary.com/how-to-...n-rpm-database
https://www.tecmint.com/rebuild-corr...base-in-centos
https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rebui...-database.html
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6903

The docs will often speak of rpmdb --rebuilddb, but it's the same: rpm --rebuilddb will just call rpmdb internally.

Thank you,

But this one will not corrupt the existing installed packages ? or update anything on the packages?
