Description Jim Dusis 2008-09-05 00:53:02 UTC

After an update the updater applet made of itself, I mean the zypp components, everytime I do an update at a patch or upgrade an rpm it keeps showing me the following message in the end of the procedure:

Problem occured during or after installation or removal of packages: rpmdb2solv -r '/' '/var/cache/zypp/solv/@System/solv' > '/var/cache/zypp/solv/@System/solvLoB90I' db->get: No such file or directory corrupt rpm database Please see the above error message for a hint. 

I really don't understand what is this, any ideas??

This might be due to a broken rpm database or solv file.
Try to rebuild your rpm database and clean zypps cache:

- remove the directory /var/cache/zypp/solv/@System 
  (it should contain 2 files: solv and cookie).

- call 'rpm --rebuilddb'.

closing as invalid. We can' really determine how the user corrupted his rpm database.
