trying to do yuom install scribus I get this:
Component: Software Installer Summary: TB6b5e0e87 config.py:661:_getsysver:TypeError: rpmdb open failed
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 243, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 236, in main pkginst = SinglePackageInstaller() File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 57, in __init__ GraphicalYumBase.__init__(self, False) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/__init__.py", line 124, in __init__ plugin_types=(yum.plugins.TYPE_CORE,)) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 125, in doConfigSetup self.conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 598, in readMainConfig yumvars['releasever'] = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 661, in _getsysver idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg) TypeError: rpmdb open failed
Local variables in innermost frame: installroot: / ts: <rpmUtils.transaction.TransactionWrapper instance at 0x9323b0c> distroverpkg: redhat-release
I get very similar messages doing just yum with no arguments.
Ideas?
