Ok, was trying to update one of my servers today and encounter these funky error messages “error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery” while trying to update yum
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | # sudo yum update [sudo] password for manager: rpmdb: Thread/process 19525/140269149038336 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 CRITICAL:yum.main: Error: rpmdb open failed |
Attempt to fix this with database recovery command somehow did not work

so proceed to check cd /var/lib/rpm and see what’s going on

remove the unwanted files with rm -f __* command
