Question
What causes the following error and how do I resolve it?
“/usr/bin/rpm” exists but is not executable; ignoring.
Answer
The error is caused by /usr/bin/rpm having insufficient permissions assigned to it.
To resolve the error, you can set the permissions on the RPM files back to their standard permissions by running the following command:
rpm --setperms rpm
and then ensure that the RPM database has no issues by running the following command:
/scripts/find_and_fix_rpm_issues
