Hi,
We've just run into a seemingly unfixable rpmdb corruption inside our build system \
(--> lots of installed packages and lots of activity) on x86_32.

rpm -q and friends are still working, but when trying to modify anything in the rpmdb \
(e.g. installing a new package), this happens:


Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

I've tried fixing the rpmdb the obvious ways, e.g.

cd /var/lib/rpm
db_recover
rpm --rebuilddb

and also the more forceful way

cd /var/lib/rpm
db_recover; db_checkpoint -1; db_archive
for i in *; do [ -d "$i" ] && continue; [ "$i" = "DB_CONFIG" ] && continue; db_dump \
$i >$i.dump; done for i in *.dump; do rm -f ${i/.dump/}; db_load ${i/.dump/} <$i; rm \
$i; done rpm --rebuilddb

But the problem stays the same.

Any ideas?
