Try doing this to rebuild your rpm database: It should be the cure-all
for whatever the problem is.
killall -9 rpm rpmb rpmd rpme rpmi rpmk rpmq rpmt rpmu rpmv;
rm -rf /var/lib/rpm*.* /var/lib/rpm/__db* /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb*.*;
rpm -v --rebuilddb &

[WBEL-users] RPM Database Corruption, etc.
I recently switched from RH9 to WBEL, and I've noticed a couple of
possible bugs. But more importantly I seem to have corrupted my RPM
database by trying to install a RHEL Postfix RPM package. Whenever I try
to run any rpm commands "rpm -qa" for example, rpm hangs for several
minutes before I finall kill it with "kill -9". I've experienced this
problem before, and I don't know a good way of fixing it. I've tried
"rpm --initdb" and "rpm --rebuilddb" but both have failed. Does anyone
have any other suggestions?
On a side note, can someone tell me if these are bugs? In the directory
/var/named/chroot/ several named config files are setup for chroot
operation, but when I update the equivalents in, for example
/etc/named.conf the updates aren't propogated over. I am guessing these
files are supposed to be either soft or hard linked, but that doesn't
appear to be the case. Is this a bug or a user error?
After I installed WBEL I copied over my Postfix config file. That didn't
seem to work, so I tried going back to the original rpm file, and just
setting the needed settings. My maillog got populated with this error
message (and others like it) :
May 18 14:39:52 staci postfix/smtpd[5083]: warning: connect #1 to
subsystem /var
/spool/postfix/private/proxymap: No such file or directory
Anyone have any ideas on that one?
Thanks,
L~
P.S. Hopefully someone can fix my rpm problem, I'd hate to have to
reinstall. As for the Postfix problems, I am resigning to the fact that
I just might need to do an install from source.
