Okay, I've tried blowing away everything in the /var/yum/cache directory... done a search... can't find anything nor can I fix this. However, when I try to do anything with yum, I get the error below: [root@localhost yum]# yum clean rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error(-30978) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30978) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 163, in main (log, errorlog, filelog, conf, cmds) = parseCmdArgs(args) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 75, in parseCmdArgs conf=yumconf(configfile=yumconffile) File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 155, in __init__ self.yumvar['releasever'] = self._getsysver() File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 285, in _getsysver idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', self.distroverpkg) TypeError: rpmdb open failed [root@localhost yum]# Any ideas?
