Hi, after experiencing the first 9.0-crash after 29 days uptime I had to re-install the system from scratch, no joke! During new installation from the 3 CDs I forgot to install mailx which seems to be essential for sending mail. I did not know that!
So I opened an xterm, su-ed to root and typed in: --------------------------------- [root@molch]# urpmi mailx rpmdb: region error detected; run recovery. Can't call method "traverse_tag" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/URPM/Resolve.pm line 267. -------------------------------------- WTF? I grabbed my CD1, mounted it, cd-ed into the RPM directory and did: ------------------------------------- [root@molch RPMS]# rpm -ivh mailx-8.1.1-20mdk.i586.rpm rpmdb: region error detected; run recovery. Error: db4 error(-30981) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery Error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30981) Error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm -------------------------------------- I grew somewhat angry and thought it may be the rpm database, so I did: --------------------------------------- [root@molch]# rpm -rebuilddb rpmdb: region error detected; run recovery. Error: db4 error(-30981) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery Error: cannot open Packages index ---------------------------------------- Now I'm sitting here, posting from Outcrap (I hope I don't make too big a mess). Worse, I can't reach my newsgroups and I can't work because I need mails and Linux at the same time. Do I have to do a Windows? I mean, a complete re-installation? wobo
