Hello,

I moved from a centos4 to centos5 based system.  The new system is a DHozak kernel:
 2.6.22.19-vs2.3.0.34.1 and I'm running is util-vserver-0.30.216-1.pre2793.  

I copied over /etc/vservers and /vservers to the new host using tar since there are
symbolic links.  However, now that I'm on the new host, I am unable to run vyum on any
of my guests.  They are a combination of centos 4 and 5.   I was running an older version
of util-vserver on the previous host; I do not know the exact version now.

This is the error I get:

[root@servernew ~]# vyum j_hia -- check-update 
rpmdb: Program version 4.3 doesn't match environment version
error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment
version mismatch
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30974)
error: cannot open Packages database in /vservers/j_hia/.rpmdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

    base.getOptionsConfig(args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 163, in getOptionsConfig
    disabled_plugins=self.optparser._splitArg(opts.disableplugins))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 164, in _getConfig
    self._conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 706, in readMainConfig
    yumvars['releasever'] = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 776, in _getsysver
    idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg)
TypeError: rpmdb open failed


Any  help would be appreciated in being able to use vyum again.

Thanks!
