Issue/Introduction

I have already verified that the dialog and chrony packages are installed:

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT INSTALLATIONS/UPGRADES

Cause

Corruption in the rpmdb, this is an OS level problem that prevents the validate script from reading the rpm’s installed.

Resolution

The Unix admin needs to repair the rpmdb.

Additional Information
