when trying to use up2date on your RHL server, you receive the following errors..
1 2 3 4 | rpmdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries error: db4 error(22) from db->close: Invalid argument error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Cannot allocate memory (12) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm |
To resolve this slightly unwanted issue… 
do the following.
Maybe make a backup eh 
1 | sudo tar cvzf rpmdb_backup.tar.gz /var/librpm |
Remove the RPM database.
1 | sudo rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* |
make the rpm rebuild the database (Could take a little while todo)
1 | rpm --rebuilddb |
Now try and run you up2date command again
