We’ve been using Yum (and now its “differenter name is betterer” dnf) for what, 20 years?
error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30973)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
You think we’ll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?
Tried running rpmdb_verify? or rpm -vv --rebuilddb?
You might also want to force an fsck on your next reboot.
I use
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00? ; rm -rf /var/cache/yum/x86_64; yum repolistto similar effect; so often I tag it with a trailing comment I can then^Rlook up later. It’s been effective from EL5 through 9, too, and wasn’t required on 4. I miss apt-rpm.
