I have F20 on a 64-bit system. I'm a home user with no sysadmin training and no real sysadmin experience. I tried to do my weekly patches, and got this:<br>
<br>
bash.6[~]: yum update<br>

To answer Ranjan,<br>

Yes, I've been doing it every week for over a year. This is the first time I've had a problem.<br>
<br>

I always do it as root.<br>
<br>
"Alchemist" suggested:<br>

> pkill yum && pkill rpm && rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* && rpmdb --rebuilddb && sync<br>

This appeared to have no effect. So I tried the individual pieces as separate commands. That appeared to work. I then tried the "yum update". It appears to have worked. Thank-you!<br>
<br>
Follow-up question...<br>
I know that the packages on my work station came from at least two repositories. I don't recall which. I have a graphics card driver which I think came from an external(?) repository. I have "xeyes", "xv", and "xcdroast", which also might have come from "external" repositories. How can I check that the sequence of commands that "Alchemist" gave me got all the repositories?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
