RE: Fix Broken RPM System?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you, it appears I was able to fix this problem by doing the following:

1)  export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
2)  export RPM_FORCE_NPTL=1
3)  killall -9 rpm rpmb rpmd rpme rpmi rpmk rpmq rpmt rpmu rpmv; 
4)  rm -rf /var/lib/rpm*.* /var/lib/rpm/__db* /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb*.*; 
5)  rpm -v --rebuilddb &


These instructions were found at:

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE ON REDHAT'S MAIN FEDORA WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now, does anyone have a solution to the ldconfig problem?

-->I have been getting this error almost every time I have used RPM in the past couple of days:

"ldconfig:  File /usr/lib/libkdepim.so.1.0.0.#prelink#.J7eGQz is too small, not checked."

Sometimes RPM would complain about more than one file with this error, but this is what I get when I run ldconfig by itself.

Thank you.

Boot first CD in rescue mode, don't enter the chroot, mount your system
somewhere, run the working RPM from within the rescue environment together
with a proper --root option (e.g. --root /mnt/yoursystem) to reinstall the
original RPM packages from CD.
