-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cauldron on Acer Aspire One 533
I tested a Cauldron install (beta 2 download) on VirtualBox and found no serious problems, so started yesterday to prepare my netbook for my holiday. It took 5 hours to install - using a USB DVD drive. Once Coling had helped me find an error that I had made during the install, everything appeared to be fine, and today I started preparing for the big update. rpm updated, then I got db4 error (-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery Rebuilding the database also failed so I followed advice to remove /var/lib/rpm/_* and tried again to rebuild. Then from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found Googling, I found several references, but all of them quite old, which made me nervous of trying the suggested solution. However, I did try, since I have nothing to lose at this point, "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=3.3.0" - which made no difference whatsoever. After a reboot I tried update once again and was offered two packages for updating - but then was told that it couldn't open the database. In desperation I tried "rm -fR /var/lib/rpm/*" - I hope I haven't broken anything too drastic, but nothing seems to have changed. The database will still not rebuild. If I try to update I get a message that the list is updating - but only one list, presumably the core list - then I'm told that the list of updates is empty. How can I get this working again?
