When installing packages via yum and the database is corrupt, the following message is displayed:
rpmdb: Thread/process 13903/140194607871904 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:
Commands such as “yum clean all” also fail with this message. To correct, move the RPM DB files to a temporary folder and rebuild the database with these 3 commands: Read more Rebuild Corrupt Yum RPM Database
You can easily install various packages by configuring a CentOS 8.x system to use Fedora EPEL repos and third party packages. This quick tutorial explains how to configure a CentOS Linux version 8.x to use the Fedora Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository.
Run the following command:
# yum search epel
epel-release.noarch : Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux repository configuration
# yum -y install epel-release
Enable the PowerTools repo since EPEL package may depend on packages from it:
# yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
To get more info about the package, run:
# yum info epel-release
