Resolved CentOS 7 / Plesk 17.8.11 Update 2 - Bind install error

[Sander Scheer]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Bind on my fresh installed CentOS 7 / Plesk 17.8.11 Update 2 machine, but the following error encounters when I try to remove a (likely) corrupt installed one:
# plesk installer --select-release-current --remove-component bind

Some errors are in Dutch, but it seems that the RPMDB has changed in some way.

I also ran the following commands to try to fix the RPMDB, but that didn't work either:

# rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
# rpm --rebuilddb
# yum clean all
# yum update
# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

Hi Igor, that helped me looking in the right direction.
I first removed Bind completely on RPM level according to these instructions: Plesk 12.5 -> Onyx update problem
Then I altered my .bashrc with the following lines (since I don't like a Dutch bash anyway):

export LC_ALL=C
export LANG=C
export LANGUAGE=en_US

After that I executed this command:
plesk installer --select-release-current --remove-component bind
And then again the install command:
plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component bind

And it now works! Thank you! The "G" in IgorG must stand for "Greatest"
