Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2012-08-29 11:07:57 CEST 
It looks like you've an issue with your rpm DB.
You should run "rpm --rebuilddb" as root

Comment 3 Benoît Audouard 2012-09-01 22:26:19 CEST 
yep, running "rpm --rebuilddb" made urpmi (and rpm in fact) work again.

I had this error and other (see below) after installation of the following rpm which are in repository "updates testing" :
python-rpm-4.9.1.3-2.1.mga2
librpm2-4.9.1.3-2.1.mga2
rpm-4.9.1.3-2.1.mga2

the current version of rpm is rpm-4.9.1.3-2.mga2 (in core/release) so the problem seems to lie with 2.1 version of the package (in updates_testing).


Another error I had (apart segmentation fault) when doing rpm -qa is :

erreur: rpmdbNextIterator: on saute h#    1655 blob size(1274456): BAD, 8 + 16 * il(64) + dl(6196)

Thanks for the help

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-22 12:09:27 CEST 
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Manuel Hiebel 2013-11-23 16:13:05 CET 
Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
