I can confirm now that this has something to do with rpmdrake.  I just
tried an update with only two packages and it failed (window
disappeared) and the rpm database was corrupted again.  If I perform the
update from the command line with urpmi it works fine.

As I wrote before, this did not work here, I have to erase the lock
file as well. After that the rebuild works ok.

As for the segfault - removing a single package via rpmdrake results
in a segfault, reproducable with any package..

Hello Wolfgang -

Try the rebuild again:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb 

and then simple do:
urpmi --auto-update -v

That worked for me.  When I tried rpmdrake, I also got the corruption
again.

 Just did updates (including rpm-4.9.1.2-22.mga2) on 2 cauldron
 installations. Last mirror sync with tier1 was 1:20 hours ago.
 No problems with rpm db

Ok, here we go again:
I did the same as described earlier:
Updates, then opening rpmdrake and marking all handbook packages for
uninstall. After uninstalling one or two packages rpmdrake segfaults.
Opening it again shows the known errors about the rpm database.

Unfortunately rpmdrake gives no other error message than "Segmentation
fault" - that's it. So I don't know whether the error messages about
the rpm database are just a result of the segfault or the cause of the
segfault.

Solution: I had to manually erase the lock file /var/lib/rpm/.RPMLOCK
After that rebuilding the database worked and urpmi is usable again.

Adding info: erasing and rebuilding the db does not work. After
removing the _db* I run # rpm --rebuilddb which returns
:
* Error: rpmdb: Thread/process 2794/1397. failed: Thread died in
Berkeley DB library
* Error: db4 error from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error,

Now I did some more package management:
 - I opened a konsole window, did another check with 'urpmi
--auto-update' which turned up no updates. After that rpm database was
unlocked. Good.
 - I opened rpmdrake from the konsole and marked all KDE handbooks for
uninstall. I clicked on OK and watched the output in the konsole
window.
 - after the second handbook urpmi crashed with a segmentation fault
and rpmdrake showed a message box with the same error (segfault).

Then I rebooted the system and starting rpmdrake on the konsole returned:
* getting lock on urpmi
* [reading all synthesis files, ok]
* Error: rpmdb: Thread/process 2794/1397. failed: Thread died in
Berkeley DB library
* Error: db4 error from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error,
run database recovery
* Error: Unable to open packages index, using db4
* Error: Unable to open package database in /var/lib/rpm

Mind that this happened with latest updates as written in my previous mail.

[Mageia-dev] Fatal errors with rpm

2012-03-14 Thread Robert Fox
Since the last few updates, I am experiencing erratic RPM db errors (on
more than one machine):

error: rpmdb: Thread/process 3912/139787959727872 failed: Thread died in
Berkeley DB library
error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db4 -  (-30974)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

I've had to delete and rebuild the rpm database several times now:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb 

Anyone else seeing this??

Thx,
R.Fox
