Mageia forum

HI, Using Mageia 3, up until now flawless. I am not able to add new pprograms or update exixting if needed.
How do I fix this?? A new install woulf be painful!!
I suspect this happened updating Skype.
Thanks for any help,
Ted.

If the rpm database has become corrupted, it can be rebuilt. Execute the following commands in a root terminal:

Code: Select all

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb

Hi Jim,
OK, done, works just fine. Made a note of the instructions on paper and filed it in case it happens again.
Thanks for the prompt reply and kudo's to you.

Ted.
