Hi all,

although AIX is not the primary platform for RPM, i'd like to
move from rpm-4.4.7 to rpm-4.4.9. The first try went south:

  bash-3.2# rpm -q vim
  rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
  error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
  error: Runnning db->verify ...
  rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
  error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
  error: Runnning db->verify ...
  [...]


I tried removing the __db.* files and --rebuilddb, but this
hangs too:

  bash-3.2# /opt/afw/bin/rpm --rebuilddb
  rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
  error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
  error: Runnning db->verify ...
  rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
  error: db4 error(-30975) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
  error: Runnning db->verify ...
  [...]

Can anyone help me out please? Btw. though not currently
installed during the build of rpm-4.4.9 i have a db4-4.5.20
ready. Could this be used for rpm too, or is the included
db4 mandatory?

Thanks,

	Frank
