I've determined that my database is in db.1.85 format, and I can
db1_dump185 all files successfully, except for packages.rpm:

==============================================
[paolo@modemsza rpm-db-copy]$ db1_dump185 -f triggerindex.dump
triggerindex.rpm
                                                                       
[paolo@modemsza rpm-db-copy]$ db1_dump185 -f packages.dump packages.rpm
db1_dump185: packages.rpm: Invalid argument

[paolo@modemsza rpm-db-copy]$ file requiredby.rpm
requiredby.rpm: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)

[paolo@modemsza rpm-db-copy]$ file packages.rpm
packages.rpm: data
==============================================

The start of the packages.rpm does indeed look different to the rest. So
I suppose I'm now asking for any advice on how to recover data from a
trashed db.1.85 file ;)


Bye

Paolo
