I'm getting an error when I try to run rpm on anything. The message I get is:
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) There doesn't seem to be a recover option for rpm. "rpm --rebuilddb" gets that same error message. Anyone know what needs to be done to repair the RPM database? in /var/lib/rpm there are a couple of files __db.001 __db.002, erase them then try again to rebuild
