Yellow Dog Linux

I had some problems with yum upgrad.

Freezing downloads, etc.

I picked up, that rebuilding the database helps.
This was on the mailinglist

So do a

rpm --rebuilddb

after that yum upgrade worked fine.
at least for me.

Ok, thinking that some strange errors I was getting on basic yum usage might be solved by giving it the ole "rpm --rebuilddb" command. Well now I get this:

Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 base
Getting headers from: Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 updates
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Packages: unsupported hash version: 8
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 44, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "yummain.py", line 145, in main
File "clientStuff.py", line 146, in rpmdbNevralLoad
File "clientStuff.py", line 139, in openrpmdb
NameError: global name 'RpmError' is not defined

yum I am guessing is working fine but the rpm bits that work with yum are what I messed up. Any ideas how I can fix this??? "apt-get remove rpm" ( to reinstall it) looks like it will really mess things up even worse..

I am curious as to what your FTP or HTTP servers are set for in the YUM config file.. I was having no end of troubles using YUM or APT-GET until I altered the hosts of those update/upgrade sources. Have you tried that yet?

Mines does the samething, in apt-get. But this thread is referring to yum.

yum is now ok for me. But it took hours (with lot of disconnects) to get all the headers.

FriedDylan and Kamika- how did you resolve your yum update problems? Please let the rest of us in on what worked for you!

by **kamika** » 08 Sep 2004, 23:45

an additional rebuild of the database might help

Code: Select all: rpm --rebuilddb

Just a thought...

I just finished a fulle install of YDL 3.0.1 and my '/etc/yum.conf' file doesn't contain the section "[updates301]" mentioned above.

Where on YellowDog site can i find the 'how-to' telling me that i should or not add this section to my config file before running 'yum update' ?

Also will it be possible to 'yum upgrade' my freshly installed ydl 3.0.1 to ydl 4 when it will be available ?

I had some funny problems with yum also, then i pointed it to freshrpms and did a yum update yum, it installed yum 2.0.7 and a new yum.conf(.rpmnew which i just copied to my existing yum.conf file).

How I got rid of yum problems on YDL 3.0(.1)

downloaded http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/3.0/ ... noarch.rpm
then reinstalled yum with
[~]$ sudo rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs '~/yum-2.0.7-3.0.yd.fr.noarch.rpm'

I got a warning about a new conf file, so i just replaced the old yum.conf with the new one
[~]$ sudo rm /etc/yum.conf
[~]$ sudo mv /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew /etc/yum.conf
[~]$ sudo yum clean
[~]$ sudo yum list updates

Now I can really apreciate this great tool !

That's all folks !
