</div>This is the all-important clue:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Providename: unsupported hash version: 9<br>
<br>
</div>You're apparently creating an image for an older distro on a newer one,<br>
and the older RPM / Berkeley DB combo on the installed image doesn't<br>
support the hash format of the newer BDB from the newer distro (on which<br>
you created the image).<br>
<br>
There's no general "easy" solution for it I'm afraid. If possible, use an<br>
older distro (of the same era as the one you're creating the image for) to<br>
create the image. Another possibility might be downgrading the rpmdb<br>
format with db_dump and db_load from suitably versioned db4-utils, but<br>
that gets a bit tricky.<br>
