Miscellaneous rpm issues

Finding which package installed given file

Many times we require to know the name of the page which installed a given file. In such cases one can use:

rpm -qf <full-path-of-file>

to list the name of the rpm package.


Resolving rpm database corruption error or repairing RPM database

Sometimes rpm or yum can give following error:

rpmdb: Thread/process 6672/140703954818816 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30974)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

which can be resolved using following steps:

ps aux | grep rpm
#Ensure no rpm command is running

#Move lock files to /tmp
mkdir /root/rpm-db-temp
mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /root/rpm-db-temp/

db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
rpm --rebuilddb

After this again try the failing yum or rpm command.
