Install requires root, creating the transaction lock is just where rpm fails now, previously the message was "cannot open database". |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: This bug was reported before, I believe for Fedora Core Test 1, however it seems to have made a comeback. Just like the other bug, when I type: rpm -ivh PackageName.rpm in a terminal, it returns the following error: error: can't create transaction lock This occurs when I try to install a package when logged in as a normal user, not root. On root it works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch terminal. 2.Type "rpm -ivh PackageName.rpm" 3.error returned Actual Results: Returned the following error: error: can't create transaction lock Expected Results: The RPM package should have installed. Additional info: The package I was specifically trying to install was wine; however, as the bug was reported before, I suspect wine is not at fault here.
