1、前提条件：安装软件包的时候，被我手动终止了
[root@dhcp yum.repos.d]# yum clean all
rpmdb: Thread/process 4541/140619363587840 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30974)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
CRITICAL:yum.main:
Error: rpmdb open failed
[root@dhcp yum.repos.d]# yum makecache
rpmdb: Thread/process 4541/140619363587840 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30974)

CRITICAL:yum.main:

2、根据提示可以知道rpm数据库被损坏，如是按照下面的方法进行重建
[root@dhcp yum.repos.d]# cd /var/lib/rpm/
[root@dhcp rpm]# ls
Basenames     __db.004     Name            Pubkeys         Triggername
Conflictname  Dirnames     Obsoletename    Requirename
__db.001      Filedigests  Packages        Requireversion
__db.002      Group        Providename     Sha1header
__db.003      Installtid   Provideversion  Sigmd5
[root@dhcp rpm]# rm __db.* -rf
[root@dhcp rpm]# rpm --rebuilddb

[root@dhcp rpm]# yum clean all
