thread.error: can't start new thread

Hello,

Could you verify if there was any additional output before this error? For instance, did it appear after a YUM transaction?

Thank you.

Yeh, it seems appear that a yum mistake:

First, try repairing your RPM database with the following commands:

mkdir /root/old_rpm_dbs/
mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /root/old_rpm_dbs/
rpm --rebuilddb

If the issue continues, you can try disabling the YUM FastMirror plugin if it's enabled by running the following command:

cp -av /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf{,.enabled}; sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/g' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks!
