linux: fatal error, run database recovery

rpsene

When trying to update your Fedora using dnf and a failure like this appear:


sudo dnerror: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv;failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

Try the following:


cd /var/lib/rpm
rm -f __*
rpmdb --rebuilddb

  1. Parsing through the html pretty print….
    The correct command is: rpmdb –rebuilddb

    And thanks for posting the tip. Brand new install of F27 going sideways when I tried to install my package list.

    Turns out I corrupted the rpmdb by using dnf –exclude which appears to be a bug in dnf.
