Topic: [SOLVED] Error: rpmdb open failed

[Fumetto]

I've received a strange email... 1st time see that

Object: Cron <root@server> sleep $[ $RANDOM % 3600 ]; /sbin/e-smith/check4contribsupdates -m

rpmdb: Thread/process 6419/140186367608576 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library
errore: errore(3) db-30974 da dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

CRITICAL:yum.main:

Error: rpmdb open failed

I have to start worrying?

You have a corrupted rpm database (can be because of a power outage, faulty hardware, cancelled rpm transaction etc...). You can try to rebuild it with

Code: [Select]

rpm --rebuilddb


[Daniel B.]

cancelled rpm transaction

Of course I mean an unclean cancelation (kill -9 or pulling the power cord)

No power outage and (hope) no hardware fail... I've done "rpm --rebuilddb".
I've search on log but dont see any error.. hope this night go without erro mail...

BTW Thank you

No more error... after 4 days... thanks Daniel B.
