If an RPM command hangs, segfaults, or otherwise behaves abnormally during use then the first task is to check for stale lock files. This can be accomplished with -CA option to the rpmdb_stat command:
Si une commande RPM se bloque, plante ou disfonctionne, il faut commencer par vérifier les fichiers de lock. On peut le faire avec -CA sur la commande rpmdb_stat:


{{LxTerm|user=root|cd /var/lib/rpm
{{LxTerm|user=root|cd /var/lib/rpm
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_stat -CA}}
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_stat -CA}}


Look at the output under the sections headed 'Locks grouped by lockers' and 'Locks grouped by object'. If no RPM command is executing, then there should be no entries. The RPM DB format allows many processes to be concurrently reading *AND* writing to the DB, so there is no safe way for an RPM command to identify & remove a stale lock. Stale locks are typically a result of a process being killed in an abnormal manner (power loss, kernel crash, 'kill' from an impatient admin). The locks are maintained in a handful of files named with two initial underscores.
== DB corruption recovery process ==
 
Since there is generally no 100% reliable way to determine if an arbitrary application has a lock on the RPM db, the best time at which to clear the stale locks is while in single user mode. Thus to clean up stale lock files, the best course of action is to simply reboot the machine. If for some reason, it is not feasible to reboot the machine, then it is feasible to simply delete the files manually. Before doing this, one must ensure no application has any of the RPM database files open. This can be checked with the lsof command. For example, as root, ensure the following command shows no lines of output:
 
{{LxTerm|user=root|lsof | grep /var/lib/rpm}}

Si après le nettoyage les problèmes persistes, la base est probablement corrompue. Il se peut aussi que vous ayez directement reçu un message vous annonçant la corruption ...


If after cleaning up stale lock files, problems are still experianced, then it is likely some level of database corruption is present. The file that usually requires rebuilding is master package metadata file /var/lib/rpm/Packages, and following that the indexes will also need to be re-generated. Before doing any potentially destructive action *ALWAYS* take a backup of the RPM DB.
Dans ce cas il vous faudra reconstruire les metadonnées. Cette action est '''DESTRUCTIVE''' pensez bien à faire une sauvegarde avant en cas de soucis.


{{LxTerm|user=root|cd /var/lib
{{LxTerm|user=root|cd /var/lib
tar zcvf /var/preserve/rpmdb-`date +"%d%m%Y"`.tar.gz rpm}}
tar zcvf /var/preserve/rpmdb-`date +"%d%m%Y"`.tar.gz rpm}}


Now verify the integrity of the Packages file:
Ensuite on vérifie l'intégrité du fichier Packages.


{{LxTerm|user=root|cd /var/lib/rpm
{{LxTerm|user=root|cd /var/lib/rpm
Ligne 29 : Ligne 25 :
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages}}
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages}}


If this reports any errors then a dump and load of the DB is required. After dumping, verify the integrity of the newly loaded Packages file:
Si vous obtenez une erreur, régénérez le.


{{LxTerm|user=root|mv Packages Packages.orig
{{LxTerm|user=root|mv Packages Packages.orig

This document provides an overview of how to deal with RPM database corruption.

Removing stale locks

Si une commande RPM se bloque, plante ou disfonctionne, il faut commencer par vérifier les fichiers de lock. On peut le faire avec -CA sur la commande rpmdb_stat:

[root@linux] # cd /var/lib/rpmdblclick to copy
[root@linux] # /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_stat -CA

DB corruption recovery process

Si après le nettoyage les problèmes persistes, la base est probablement corrompue. Il se peut aussi que vous ayez directement reçu un message vous annonçant la corruption ...

Dans ce cas il vous faudra reconstruire les metadonnées. Cette action est DESTRUCTIVE pensez bien à faire une sauvegarde avant en cas de soucis.

[root@linux] # cd /var/libdblclick to copy
[root@linux] # tar zcvf /var/preserve/rpmdb-`date +"%d%m%Y"`.tar.gz rpm

Ensuite on vérifie l'intégrité du fichier Packages.

[root@linux] # cd /var/lib/rpmdblclick to copy
[root@linux] # rm -f __db* # to avoid stale locks
[root@linux] # /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages

Si vous obtenez une erreur, régénérez le.

[root@linux] # mv Packages Packages.origdblclick to copy
[root@linux] # /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_dump Packages.orig

If the Packages file now passes the verify step, then as an additional sanity check query all headers in the DB by doing, and watch for any messages sent to standard error (it helps to discard standard out when looking for this):

[root@linux] # rpm -qa 1> /dev/nulldblclick to copy

If this query passes without generating any messages to standard error, then it is time to rebuild the indexes by invoking:

[root@linux] # rpm -v --rebuilddbdblclick to copy

At this point you should have a functioning RPM database again. If any of the recovery steps failed, then a bug should be reported. When creating the report, provide the tar.gz backup of the RPM DB as an attachment, along with any daily package list log files named /var/log/rpm*.
