I just want to install two packages in my Fedora 15 but I am getting some weird error.

Command:
yum install @development-tools

Error:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package flex-2.5.35-13.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version Error: Package tuple ('gcc', 'x86_64', '0', '4.6.0', '6.fc15') could not be found in rpmdb

Command:
yum install fedora-packager

Error:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Error: Package tuple ('fedora-packager', 'noarch', '0', '0.5.9.0', '1.fc15') could not be found in rpmdb

On first command it says package already installed and latest version but why I got that error line.How to fix this errors?

Sounds like corrupt data. Do: yum clean all followed by yum update and then try the installation again.

  • It's the Yum equivalent of using apt-get update so all affects are positive.

    Perhaps you need to do a rpm --rebuilddb and check that no strange files are left in /var/lib/rpm. If there are __db.xxx files around, db_recover might be called for.

    In my case a 'yum clean all' did the trick. The message I got was after using the 'fedup' program to update me from F17 to F19.

You could try rebuilding the rpmdb

rpmdb --rebuilddb

This fixed a similar problem for me.

    +1 - this sorted the issue for me, when yum clean all didn't.

To solve that problem I had to do both: 

yum clean all 
rpm --rebuilddb
