Hi, I'm newbie in arm linux! :( I'm try to use fedora arm FS. I've a problem on YUM, in particular on rpm; when I invoke rpm or yum I'm obtain: rpmdb: mmap: Invalid argument error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/repoquery", line 808, in <module> main(sys.argv) File "/usr/bin/repoquery", line 721, in main repoq.doConfigSetup(debuglevel=initnoise, init_plugins=opts.plugins) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 113, in doConfigSetup errorlevel=errorlevel) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 159, in _getConfig self._conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 613, in readMainConfig yumvars['releasever'] = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 680, in _getsysver idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg) TypeError: rpmdb open failed I'm just try to delete DB and rebuild it by "rpm --rebuilddb" but the problem remain.

I didn't notice the second URL (http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/arm/) at first, so I was missing xorg-x11-server-Xorg rpm. With this rpm I'm able to start the X server. Thanks again, Francesco

Question about f8 arm-linux rpms (xorg-x11)
by ffileppo 27 May '08

Hi all, I'd like to use rpms from (http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Ev…) to get a working xorg/x11 server on my embedded box. I'm quite confused about various xorg-x11* packages, for example there is no xorg-x11-server rpm (only xorg-x11-server-utils). Would anyone explain me which rpms are needed to get a working xorg/x11 server on my embedded box? Thank you, Francesco
