Good day,
since yesterday I have a problem installing/updating packages in my opensuse 12.3_x64 via zypper and via yast. When I try to install packages i get the following errors:

This is the first time something like this has happened to any of my systems and I don’t know how to run database recovery, so, I would like to ask you for help.

Thanks in advance.

Try (as root):

rpm --rebuilddb

(And please next time use CODE tags instead of QUOTE tags around computer text. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor).

This RPM rebuild command and several other additional database repair commands can be found as menu options in my Zypper Command bash script:

Zypper Command - Zypper Package Management Menu System - Version 2.00 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thank You,
