so since 12.29.2008 I have been on 3 boxes with corrupt rpm databases. Seems a bit odd to me. All 3 have been rhel5.2. One of them isn't a box I manage (if it wasn't for that one I'd blame it on myself very quickly).
Here is what I saw from the latest one: [r...@dodo lib]# rpm -q --whatprovides /opt/informix/etc/sm_versions.std rpmdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries rpmdb: Unknown locker ID: 477f error: db4 error(22) from db->close: Invalid argument error: cannot open Basenames index using db3 - Cannot allocate memory (12) rpmdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries rpmdb: Unknown locker ID: 4780 error: db4 error(22) from db->close: Invalid argument error: cannot open Providename index using db3 - Cannot allocate memory (12) file /opt/informix/etc/sm_versions.std is not owned by any package A quick clean and rebuild fixes the problem. The things tying the systems would be: 1: All HP boxes (although not same hardware) 2: All running RHEL5.2 3: All connected to the same satellite server (but we don't push updates, and I haven't updated the boxes I run lately) I still have all of the broken databases in a tarball. Anyone see anything like this or is it just happenstance? -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
