I have upgrade my kernel-2.4.20-8 (redhat 9) to kernel-2.6.12.
Now, my "rpm command is not working "
for eg: I get these errors as Itry any thing
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
...
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
This is a known issue - the workaround is:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
<or>
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
Then rebuild the rpmdb:
rpm --rebuilddb
The longer term fix is to upgrade to rpm-4.3, but you
may have to jump through a lot of dependency hoops, including
glibc-2.3.3, to do that.
