eopkg crashes due to missing coreutils metadata

Hi, I’m running Solus and my package manager is broken. Any eopkg command that installs or upgrades crashes with:

No such file or directory: /var/lib/eopkg/package/coreutils-9.7-39/metadata.xml

What I tried:

But eopkg still tries to read that deleted path and crashes immediately.

I suspect a stale internal state reference that survives DB deletion.

How can I fully reset or rebuild eopkg’s internal state without reinstalling the OS?

Thanks in advance.

eopkg_failure
cleared /var/lib/eopkg/db
cleared /var/lib/eopkg/index

Here's to hoping you didn't completely bork your installation with those steps 🙏

Try sudo eopkg dc, followed by sudo eopkg rdb, followed by sudo eopkg up
