The solution involves repairing the error by deleting the original rpmdb files, rebuilding the rpm database, and cleaning all yum caches.

使用 yum 或者 rpm 安装包时出现问题，安装时报出大约如下错误

rpmdb: Thread/process35884/139793484506880failed: Thread died inBerkeley DB library error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot openPackages index using db3 - (-30974) error: cannot openPackages database in/var/lib/rpm CRITICAL.main: Error: rpmdb openfailed

这多半是因为 rpm 数据库出现损坏所致，此错误可能导致多数 (甚至是所有的) rpm 软件的升级、安装甚至是删除都会出现问题。解决办法如下：修复此错误，请以 root 身份在终端输入以下命令

cd /var/lib/rpm      # rpmdb所在目录    
ls | grep 'db.'   # 列出相关rpmdb文件   
rm -f \_\_db.\*     # 清除原rpmdb文件    
rpm --rebuilddb     # 重建rpm数据库    
yum clean all     # 清除所有yum的缓存
