Conary Database Conversion and Updating

Most Conary local system database conversion processes happen automatically. Conary must be executed as the root user to initiate any pending automatic database conversion before it may be run successfully by a non-root user, however. This means in practice, that after updating conary, you should run a conary command as root.

For example, you may update Conary versions 0.97.1 or later, and initiate any pending database conversions by executing the following commands:

$ su -
# conary update conary
# conary q conary

Conversion and Updating for Previous Versions

In some cases, additional steps must be taken to update and convert Conary local system databases for users of Conary versions prior to 0.97.1. If you're using a version of Conary previous to 0.97.1, follow the detailed steps found on the Conversion For Older Versions page to convert and update your Conary installation.
