Okay, my very first hosed rpmdb. I tried rebuilddb, no go. I tried
initdb /then/ rebuilddb no go. Any other ideas? Fortunately, this
isn't a production system (yet) so I can blow it away if I need to. I
was running up2date on the box from ssh and for some reason sshd died in
the middle of it.
up2date :-O Use yum.
Check your /var/log/messages for, eg, memory-related problems that
provoked things to blow up in the first place.
What exactly are the symptoms when you try, for example,
rpm -qa
-Andy
rpm -qa gives me a package list like it should. This is what I get when
I up2date:
RPM error. The message was:
Could not determine what version of Red Hat Linux you are running.
If you get this error, try running
rpm --rebuilddb
