Has anyone seen this before?

Trying to rebuild the rpm database results in a similar error. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is a remote system that isn't easy for me to get physical access to. 8-(

That's not good IIRC. Might be the reason why the rest is an issue.

Are you saying the rebuild completes, but yum still fails? Or the rebuild doesn't complete?

Try removing the files /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* and then rebuilding the database with the command:
rpm --rebuilddb

Sorry, I had assumed you did the removal of the __db files when you said you had rebuilt the RPM db. That's been pretty standard operating procedure since RHL8/RPM4. (now I guess I posted too little ;-)

I'm curious. Is this something we all have to look forward to, or is it merely something the user did to break RPM?

Probably.

Probably. This is not a new issue - almost a FAQ.
You could save us all a lot of searching if you could be a little more verbose and perhaps even prepare an FAQ. I haven't encountered any problems with yum/rpm since my original 4.0 install. Now up-to-4.1-snuff and still no problems, so it would be nice to know what to avoid.

Sorry if I was a bit too terse/cute. If I knew precisely what to avoid I'd write the FAQ. As far as the fix, seemed to me that at least two good answers in the current thread would suffice.
Cheers, Phil.

Yes. It's because of an update of libdb ... So you have to delete __db.XXX files in /var/lib/rpm directory, and do a rpm --rebuilddb and it should be fine.
