[Ltib] Texinfo build / troubles with rpm database?

[Franz TRIERWEILER]

Hello,

I know that troubles about building texinfo have already been discussed a while ago (someone named Nirmala got a similar issue) but I would like to submit a strange behaviour I noticed this morning on an Ubuntu 9.10 host distro on which I am trying to install a fresh LTIB provided by Freescale (PDK 1.6). This LTIB works fine on an Ubuntu 09.04 but that's still hard to get something run on a 09.10.

When trying to build texinfo, LTIB fails. There seems to be a big mess in the rpm local database.

Here is a tailed extract of the host_config.log file:


address@hidden:/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD$ tail / home/franz/ltib/host_config.log

Executing(--clean): /bin/sh -e /home/franz/ltib/tmp/rpm-tmp.nAtpSP
+ umask 022
+ cd /tmp/rpm-franz/BUILD
+ rm -rf rpm-4.0.4
+ exit 0
Build time for rpm-fs: 537 seconds

error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) sudo rpm --root / --dbpath /tmp/rpm-franz/rpmdb -e --allmatches -- nodeps --define '_tmppath /home/franz/ltib/tmp' rpm-fs 2>/dev/null 

After trying a new ./ltib build here I get this:

address@hidden:/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD$ tail / home/franz/ltib/host_config.log

These packages failed to build:
texinfo

Build Failed

Before starting to read tons of documents about rpm database management and how to fix the database, I would like to know if someone already faced the same issue.
