Question :
When i try to install the packages or software using the yum command, the following error or warning message appeared:
Running Transaction Check Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum. Installing :......
Answer :
Some application has altered the rpm database (installed or removed a package) without going through the Yum APIs. To avoid this, it’s recommended to update, install or remove RPM packages using yum command, instead of ” rpm -e” or “rpm -i” or “rpm -ivh” or “rpm -Uvh”.
To fix this, just run this command :
[root@fedora16 ~]# yum clean all Cleaning repos: Fedora16-Repository Cleaning up Everything
