Ok, revise the RPM database creation and rebuilding procedure again. The main problem is that we neither can just copy the empty "Packages" file (because it is of type "hash" and RPM 4.2 uses also "btree" files) nor can we just touch(1) the files (because RPM will later complain under operations, although even the official RedHat RPM just touches the files). So, do it the ultimative way: we install the Berkeley-DB db_load/db_dump/db_verify tools (with prefix "rpm") and use these to really create missing files with the correct type from scratch. The result is the following. First, we have e.g. OpenPKG 1.3 (RPM 4.0.2, DB 3.2.4): | # /xx/bin/rpm -qa | openpkg-1.3.0-1.3.0 | # ll /xx/RPM/DB/ | total 432 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Basenames | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Conflictname | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Group | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Name | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 98304 Aug 27 09:57 Packages | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Providename | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Requirename | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Triggername | root@pg6:/tmp | # file /xx/RPM/DB/* | /xx/RPM/DB/Basenames: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Conflictname: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Group: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Name: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Packages: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Providename: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Requirename: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Triggername: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) Now we upgrade to OpenPKG-CURRENT (RPM 4.2.1, DB 4.1.24): | # /xx/bin/rpm -Uvh /xx/RPM/PKG/openpkg-20030827-20030827.ix86-freebsd4.8-xx.rpm | Preparing... ########################################### [100%] | 1:openpkg ########################################### [100%] | # ll /xx/RPM/DB/ | total 840 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Basenames | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Conflictname | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Depends | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 32768 Aug 27 23:02 Dirnames | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Filemd5s | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Group | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 32768 Aug 27 23:02 Installtid | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Name | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 114688 Aug 27 23:02 Packages | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Providename | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 32768 Aug 27 23:02 Provideversion | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Pubkeys | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Requirename | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 32768 Aug 27 23:02 Requireversion | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Sha1header | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 23:02 Sigmd5 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 49152 Aug 27 09:57 Triggername | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 8192 Aug 27 23:02 __db.001 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 1318912 Aug 27 23:02 __db.002 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 737280 Aug 27 23:02 __db.003 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 0 Aug 27 23:02 __db.004 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 0 Aug 27 23:02 __db.005 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 0 Aug 27 23:02 __db.006 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 0 Aug 27 23:02 __db.007 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 0 Aug 27 23:02 __db.008 | -rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 0 Aug 27 23:02 __db.009 | # file /xx/RPM/DB/* | /xx/RPM/DB/Basenames: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Conflictname: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Depends: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Dirnames: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Filemd5s: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Group: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Installtid: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Name: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Packages: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Providename: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Provideversion: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Pubkeys: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Requirename: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Requireversion: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Sha1header: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Sigmd5: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/Triggername: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.001: data | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.002: X11 SNF font data, LSB first | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.003: X11 SNF font data, LSB first | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.004: empty | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.005: empty | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.006: empty | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.007: empty | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.008: empty | /xx/RPM/DB/__db.009: empty
