Post by: Fumetto on September 05, 2016, 03:26:05 PM

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

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

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
