The try this to fix this problem: # rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* # db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages # rpm --rebuilddb # yum clean all And finally verify that error has gone with the following yum command # yum update

Correct Answer: D. cd/var/lib/rpm; rm -f _db*; rpm --rebuilddb; yum clean all Basically you need to do the following. (in order) 1. Delete the rpm data base files. 2. Rebuild the RPM database. 3. Clean Yum cache. The answer includes changing directly to the directory instead of combining steps 1 and 2 with the rm command and file path in one. ( rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* ) Additionally you can verify the database files have been removed with before rebuilding: db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
