I'm trying to run yum update on my f15 system and I get an error saying to rebuild db. I've tried some soltions from forums but haven't had any success.
Below is a terminal session showing the output from the original error along with the things I have tried:
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db4 - (-30974)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
