Hello,
Iam having the following problem:
#rpm -qa gave the following output
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
Then I did the following:
#mkdir /var/lib/rpm
#rpm --initdb
# ls -la /var/lib/rpm
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 4 08:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 May 4 08:57 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24576 May 4 08:57 Packages
When I execute "rpm -qa" I get no output.Iam missing a lot of information
in rpm directory.
How can I recreate it? I donot know how I lost the whole directory and
the contents?
Iam missing rpmpkgs file also.
Thanks in advance,
Kumar
