We're allowed to learn, and we can only do that if we occasionally make mistakes.
Why me, I'm extremely good at making mistakes.

It seems that when installing using the Net8install many things are not installed. They might go unnoticed once Virtuozzo is installed and replaces some rpm's with it's own.
screen was one such rpm not installed. I installed it today with yum -y install screen and got a reply to the effect that the rpdpm database was modified outside...
Should I rebuild rpm's? I think this is the syntax. Please correct me if I am mistaken. I am using Centos 6.2_64
Code: Select all
# cd /var/lib/rpm
# rm __db*
# rpm --rebuilddb
I hesitate doing anything on Virtuozzo but this is getting old.

Indeed, modifying the rpm database the way virtuozzo does is absolutely risky. What this tells me is that the version of the libraries (and perhaps rpm itself) used on the parent system are not 100% compatible with the libraries in the guest OS.

I've installed rpm's including screen before. It is only the newer versions of Centos causing me grief. Should I rebuild the database?

Sure, its only going to get worse if you dont. Thats just treating the symptom though, whatever is modifying it isnt compatible.
