Re: YUM update error; nss bug

TrevorH - Yes looks like they did that.

Does CentOS come with pre-installed packages like PHP, httpd, etc and if so, are they suppose to be listed when doing: yum list installed ?

Thanks.

You could check the /var/log/yum.log and re-install all the listed packages.

Running yum list installed should list everything that is installed but it depends on the integrity of the rpm database for its results. Gerald's suggestion of parsing yum.log* sounds like your best bet though I would be wary of making sure you have copies of all your config files first. When you update an already installed rpm that has a config file marked as a config file in the rpm building process then it is careful not to overwrite any changes you may have made to the installed copy but i have no idea if it also does the same thing on initial installation if the same file is already present. It might create a config.file.rpmnew file or it might just overwrite it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

From you can tell from the list of installed packages, packages like php, httpd are not listed and they actually are on the server if for example I would do php-v gives me:

Code: Select all

PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Oct 30 2014 20:12:53) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
Will running the command rpm --rebuilddb possibly rebuild the database and have all actual packages that are installed on the system by displayed when doing yum list installed?

Thanks guys, really appreciate your help. :)

No. You need to parse yum.log and extract the package names from it without the version numbers etc. The compare that list with the currently installed rpms using e.g rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' and get a list of the ones in yum.log that are missing from the installed system. Then you can do, for example, rpm -qc httpd to get a list of the config files it provides and back those up before you reinstall it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: YUM update error; nss bug

WARNING -- untested commands ahead -- WARNING
WARNING -- make a backup of ALL files you care about before trying this -- WARNING


First make sure you have actually fixed the nss-softokn problem so that the system has the required libfreeblpriv3.* files in the correct location.

At this stage you can try rpm -qa to see if it lists a few pages of installed packages. If it does, congratulations, your rpm database is most probably fine and you can stop here.

If you have tried to rebuild the rpm database WITHOUT first copying the libfreeblpriv3.* files to their proper location, it's possible that your rpm database is now empty. Sorry. The rpm database is the place where the system keeps track of which packages have been installed. If that database is damaged, there is no (certain) way to determine which packages you have installed, and thus fully automatic recovery is not feasible.

You can start the recovery by adding the centos-release package to the database. It will (probably) make yum work again, which can help with the next tasks. For x86_64, run curl -O http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x8 ... x86_64.rpm to download the centos-release file. For i386, use http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/i3 ... 2.i686.rpm instead. After you have downloaded the file, run rpm -i --nodeps --noscripts --notriggers --excludepath / centos-release-6-6.el6.centos.12.2.*.rpm to add centos-release to the rpm database. --nodeps means it ignores any errors about missing dependencies, --noscripts means it won't execute any installation scripts in the package and --notriggers disables any commands that are normally executed before or after package installation. --excludepath / (notice the slash at the end) will make rpm not create any pathnames that start with a /, ie. all files.

You can use the next steps to determine which packages you may have installed in the past or during initial install. However, this method does not tell you which version of the package you have installed. If you have kept your system mostly up-to-date and were running CentOS 6.6, you can start with 6.6 GA versions of the packages (ie. those that reside in 'os', not 'updates') and then finally install the updates. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add/change enabled=0 to the [updates] section.

At this stage you should be able to run yum whatprovides /bin/bash to see that the file is provided by a package named "bash". For subsequent queries you can add the -C parameter to run entirely from cache. This may speed up the process a bit.

Now that you know which package you need to add (like bash in this example), run yum install --setopt=tsflags=justdb bash to download bash and any of its dependencies, and with the magic of the setopt=tsflags=justdb option, the change is made only to the rpm database and not to files on filesystem.

Rinse and repeat. Finally edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo again and re-enable [updates], then run yum update to (re)install the updates. You can also use rpm -Va to check that your rpm database matches the installed files on your system.

Please note that this process works relatively OK for CentOS without any third party repositories. Repositories which do not overwrite CentOS files (such as EPEL) should not cause that much headache either. If you have used EPEL, you can reinstall the EPEL repository with yum install --setopt=tsflags=justdb epel-release.

Third-party repositories which overwrite CentOS packages will be problematic. For example, if your MySQL package was not provided by CentOS, your MySQL database may end up getting totally *cked up if you install an incorrect version of MySQL. But fortunately you made a backup of all the files you care about, right? I told you to do that at the beginning of this message. The same goes for PHP and Apache. Many users using "web control panels" are in this situation. If you are even a little bit unsure about this, ASK your provider first if it's OK to follow these instructions, or tell them to fix the situation for you.

I know these instructions are not complete. I did not write these to cover all possible cases that you might run into. Some independent thinking will be required.

I have not tried these instructions myself. I only looked up the manual pages of the appropriate commands and came up with these instructions. Anybody else could have done that (that's the "community" aspect). Hopefully these will be of help to someone, but I (or the CentOS Linux Project) will not be held liable if there are errors in these instructions, causing your corporation billions of damages or the loss of your pet boa constrictor.

Wow! a huge thank you to avij for the very helpful and informative post and of course to TrevorH and gerald_clark for their help!

I was able to get php, httpd and mysql back into the rpm db list:

rpm -qa output: (new packages at the bottom. Well not necessarily "new" but back in the rpm db :D )

Re: YUM update error; nss bug

Post by DonX » 2015/01/21 00:44:27

Hey guys I was wondering since I obviously have more installed on my system than indicated by my rpm database at the moment, in order to get the rpm back to the way it was, would it be a good idea to create a virtualbox of centOS6.6, install all updates,(virtualmin/webmin etc) as was my original system prior to the nss bug and then take the centos6.6 virtualbox rpm directory to my actual server?

I was just wondering if that is possible or a good idea? Came to mind as I was checking out virtualbox.

Thanks.

The trouble is that you have a chicken and egg situation. You don't know what packages you had installed before so you cannot install the same packages on your VB instance. To get the VB rpm database correct you would need to know what packages were installed before.

If you want to correct this properly I think you are going to need to write yourself a script to do it. The basic outlines are: get a list of all files on the system, query rpm to see if $file is currently owned by an installed rpm and if so then skip it, if not then query yum provides to find out if a yum package that is available supplies it and if so then install that package from the base repo (not from updates) without updating the filesystem, just the database. Repeat for all files on the system or at least under /usr and /lib{,64}. Once that process is complete, run yum update with updates enabled to pull down the latest version of all packages.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Thank you TrevorH. I actually found all the yum logs on the server. They go back when I got on the server since mid 2013. Every install and update is there. I combined the files into one file base based of "Installed" and now I have a list of what has been "Installed" on my server since I got on the server. I was thinking per Gerald's suggestion, would it be okay to go ahead now and (re)install each package one by one? And if so, is it okay to simply just install the packages or do I have to go about it the way avij posted?
