parian66 · 10-01-2012, 08:20 AM

As i mentioned in "YUM and RPM dose not do any thing!", i have the same problem with rpm.
And nothing happened

Code:

[root@armansoft ~]#  rpm -Uvh yum-3.2.29-22.el6.centos.noarch.rpm
[root@armansoft ~]#

so yum list or rpm -qa return nothing still, right?

Try the following commands and reply (via attachment) the strace files in /tmp. There are a couple of common shared dependencies in each app.

Quote:

strace -o /tmp/yum.strace yum list
strace -o /tmp/rpm.strace rpm -qa

Ginola · 10-01-2012, 09:33 AM

before you do that, try this.

Quote:

tar cvf /tmp/rpmdb.tar /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
rpm -qa

pixellany · 10-01-2012, 06:53 PM

Can you run other commands?

Does the terminal behave normally except for this command?

John VV · 10-01-2012, 08:29 PM

At this point with both yum and rpm not even errorring

but giving no output

I would reinstall but with CentOS 6.3 ( centOS 6.2 is End of life)

something is royally messed up

parian66 · 10-01-2012, 11:37 PM

i don't know what happened but the result is here:

Code:

[root@armansoft apache-tomcat-7.0.25]#  tar cvf /tmp/rpmdb.tar /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
[root@armansoft apache-tomcat-7.0.25]#  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
[root@armansoft apache-tomcat-7.0.25]#  rpm -qa
[root@armansoft apache-tomcat-7.0.25]#

can you check the state of your /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc file.

also, what is the contents of /root/.rpmrc ?

parian66 · 10-02-2012, 03:21 AM

I attached both.

what is the last entry in your yum log?

tail /var/log/yum.log

A question???

Why are you even trying to back up the rpm database when the program "rpm" is not working ??
if it is not working you can NOT update the rpm database

IF yum and rpm ever worked ( i do not know if they ever did )

if they DID in the past work then you did "something" most likely installed something that was VERY incompatible
( rpmforge and random rpms from the net can do this )

if they NEVER worked
something is VERY VERY WRONG with the install
and the TWO programs needed to fix it are NOT WORKING

i would reinstall with CentOS 6.3
seeing as you would have HAD to upgrade cent anyway , with 6.2 now past it's END OF LIFE

one thing you can try is this
but it is NOT going to fix it

Code:

strace rpm

you "should get a very long output
at the beginning though will be something that looks like this

Code:

execve("/bin/rpm", ["rpm"], [/* 97 vars */]) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x604000
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x????c????000

if there is then it is installed but broken

Since the yum.log suggests this was working a week ago, did you manage to clean the yum cache as a last action? The reason I ask is, it looks like ( from the strace log) that rpm never even gets to those dirs.

Yeah, I'd upgrade as suggested above.
