last update f25 db5 error

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

With last update of kernel (4.11.9-200.fc25.x86_64) akmod is unable to
install nvidia modules.

Error message:

erreur : db5 erreur(-30969) de dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH:
Database environment version mismatch
erreur : impossible d'ouvrir l'index Packages en utilisant db5 -  (-30969)
erreur : impossible d'ouvrir la base de données paquet dans /var/lib/rpm
Erreur : Error: rpmdb open failed

But rpm
kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.11.9-200.fc25.x86_64-340.102-3.fc25.x86_64.rpm was
built and I could install it manually usinf dnf install.

What is wrong with the automatic install through akmod?

Thank you.

This may or may not be the problem, but in the past I would often have
issues when akmod could not install a package after building it,
because dnf had the database locked. You can look in
/var/cache/akmods/nvidia/*.log to see the details. In every case,
simply running 'dnf install' on the compiled rpm (same directory)
worked with no problems.

This seems to be pointing to a problem with the rpm database.

I would probably consider

rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpmdb --rebuilddb
