Description Christian Müller 2018-03-13 20:46:10 CET

Description of problem:

When installing an rpm package using rpm, urpmi or rpmdrake, rpm crashes. Console output (in German):

rpm: backend/dbiset.c:62: dbiIndexSetUniq: Zusicherung »set->count > 0« nicht erfüllt.
Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

Therefore /var/cache/urpmi/rpms is left unflushed when updates are installed.
Reproduced that on three different machines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RPM-Version 4.13.0.2

Please show full version-relelease of rpm from command:

rpm -qa rpm

There was a broken rpm in testing a while back that had similar problems

Actually looking at SRPM line, you have listed rpm-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6 wich is the broken one...

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2018-03-14 13:53:08 CET

So to downgrade, check what packages for the broken rpm you have installed with

rpm -qa |grep 4.13.0.2-3.2

and you will probably get a list like:

lib64rpm7-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6
python2-rpm-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6
python3-rpm-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6
rpm-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6



Then to downgrade you do:

urpmi --downgrade rpm 


If you have other rpm packages installed like:
lib64rpmbuild7-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6
lib64rpmsign7-4.13.0.2-3.2.mga6


then downgrade them with

urpmi --downgrade lib64rpmbuild7 lib64rpmsign7

I had indeed testing repos active, and rpm-4.13.0.2-3.2 installed. Downgrade to 4.13.0.2-3.1 solved the problem, thank you :)
