[SOLVED] No packages listed in MageiaUpdate

[hansmicheelsen]

After yesterdays updates (mostly kernel stuff I believe) I get notification that updates are available for my system. But when I run MageiaUpdate (or click the red exclamationmark icon) no packages are shown. It only writes; "the list of updates is empty etc...".

When run from prompt MageiaUpdate writes:

[root@localhost BOINC]# MageiaUpdate

unlocking urpmi database

I cut out some text in the middle...

And "rpm -qa | grep mysql" gives:

fejl: db5 fejl(-30986) fra dbcursor->c_get: BDB0075 DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found

PS: fejl = error, fra = from

Please post the contents of /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and please use code tags for said content.

I attached the file

Odd, the error you posted is with "Core 32bit Backports Testing" but /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg says that is ignored.

Edit: Try running

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update

in a root console and post the output here.

Yesterday there were an update of qt4-database-plugin-mysql-4.8.4-7.mga3. Can there be a connection?
Another thing. Yesterday when I rebooted for the newest kernel, it halted saying something like "Cannot unmount /home". And I notice that some of my programs ask for initial information as if it the first time I use them.

Is there a way to reset the whole urpmi-mechanism?

I have no idea what

Code: Select all

Error: DB5 error (-30986) from dbcursor-> c_get: BDB0075 DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found

means.

Unless someone else has a better suggestion I'd say try a different mirror.

[hansmicheelsen]

How do I actually choose a different mirror? In case of major problems I've always deleted all mirrors in mediamanager and let it find mirrors itself. Sometimes it has helped.

I did remove all mirrors and readded. Same result

[hansmicheelsen]

I don't know what I did except from waiting maybe. But now everything works again

And "rpm -qa | grep mysql" gives:

fejl: db5 fejl(-30986) fra dbcursor->c_get: BDB0075 DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found

Sounds like memory (page) corruption or rpm DB corruption. If it reappears, you may want to try http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rebuildin ... abase.html
