I've just discovered a very strange and unusual problem with rpm on my Red Hat 9
laptop running 2.6.0-test. Under 2.4.22-ac2 rpm runs perfectly fine, but when I
run it under 2.6.0-test, it outputs the following errors:
sudo rpm -Uvh alsa-driver-0.9.6-1.fr.i386.rpm
Password:
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
warning: alsa-driver-0.9.6-1.fr.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
I have never seen rpm do this before, and it only occurs under 2.6.0-test. It
happens under these specific kernels:
2.6.0-test5-bk10
2.6.0-test5-bk11
2.6.0-test5-mm4
I have not tried -test5-bk12 yet, but I have a feeling that I will get the same
errors. I have checked syslog and dmesg and there are no errors from the kernel;
under 2.4.22-ac2 rpm works perfectly fine, so I don't believe it's file corruption
or filesystem breakage.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?
Thanks!
Brad

Sound like NPTL issues "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 <rpm command>".
Check the archives for details.

Hi, try this:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
before run rpm command, this works fine on my RH9

Hmmm. What version of glibc do you have? I have glibc 2.3.2 installed and
I get the same error with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
I tried LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.22, since everything is good under 2.4, but that
didn't help either. Another guy said to check the archives, which I did, but
I don't know what to search for.

Are you doing LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 on the same line as the rpm command?
This should work:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 rpm -qa
This shouldn't:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
rpm -qa

I tried it the first way and I got the same error. I've already upgraded my glibc;
do I need to reboot to 2.4.22-ac2 and upgrade some other system component, like
ld.so?

You need to install the latest version of RPM. You can get it from
rpm.org.

A few ways to solve this:
What I did before upgrading RPM was:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
rpm -Uvh blah.rpm
If you upgrade to rpm that is in RedHat Rawhide (current 4.2.1-0.30),
this problem goes away. You may need to upgrade your glibc as well, I'm
currently at 2.3.2-91 from Rawhide.

Thanks! Using 2.2.5 works!
Thanks to everyone who helped out. Perhaps this needs to go into an FAQ somewhere?
