I have the same problem, my system says I have far less packages then I actually do installed.
I had the same problem, then I did an expert/update and it fixed the prob, but half of my installed packages are not in the db. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Praedor Tempus Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2002 1:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] No rpm database This is an updated Mandrake 8.1 system. I was perusing the cooker rpm list to see if it had any newer kde 3.0 beta release rpms. When I decided to check a few "new" rpms against what I already had, I got this: [praedor@d152-159 praedor]$ rpm -qa |grep kdeartwork error: db3 error(-30988) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: db3 error(-30987) from db->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery So, I then tried "rpm --rebuilddb" which eliminated the above complaining but also produced nothing. According to the "new and improved/corrected" database, I have no rpms installed. praedor On Wednesday 20 February 2002 09:59 am, you wrote: > On Wednesday 20 February 2002 11:46, you wrote: > > GREAT!!!
