Thanks. I installed yum on the guestos (centos5) following steps mentioned
in :
http://linux-vserver.org/Building_Guest_Systems
However while executing "yum" within the guest I see an error as
bash-3.2# yum
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Packages: unsupported hash version: 9
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
bash-3.2# ls -l /var/lib/rpm/Packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4915200 May 27 12:16 /var/lib/rpm/Packages*
*
[root@zaphod /]# vserver cent5 exec bash -c "rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*; rpm
--rebuilddb"
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Packages: unsupported hash version: 9
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
Any clues?
Thanks,
Nirmal
