[SOLVED] Zypper error

Did anyone encounter this error before in Sailfish on the device:

Happens since a good week now when doing zypper in (some-package), for example:

Code:

[nemo@localhost ~]$ sudo zypper in mce-tools

Password:

Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

Resolving package dependencies...

 

The following NEW package is going to be installed:

  mce-tools 

 

1 new package to install.

Overall download size: 57.7 KiB. After the operation, additional 116.9 KiB will 

be used.

Continue? [y/n/?] (y): 

Installing: mce-tools-1.22.1-1.14.1 .....................................[error]

Installation of mce-tools-1.22.1-1.14.1 failed:

Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a):

I have tried a few things, like reinstall zypper, rpm
rpm --rebuilddb
zypper clean --all

Still, getting this error, allthough, installing using rpm and pkcon works without issues.

Re: Zypper error

try as root:
rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb

tried that, doesnt work .
Also tried (thanks to Stefano Mosconi)
cd /var/lib
mv rpm rpmold
pkcon refresh

zypper in (package) then wants to install ~347 packages, I tried to say 'ok', but, it fails with same error after downloading all packages

Re: Zypper error

Solved by doing a device reset now, back to install all my stuff :)
Had hoped this would not be needed, but, oh well - it did the trick

Re: [SOLVED] Zypper error

Strange. I wonder what could go awry in the RPM database to make that necessary so that just cleaning cache does not help??

Re: [SOLVED] Zypper error

would like to had known that :)
but probably some of the compilations I did allthough, dont think any of those should have that impact

Also, what is pkcon doing that zypper doesn't? (or viceversa)

Re: [SOLVED] Zypper error

time to install strace ?
