You likely have stale locks. Fix by doing (also done during reboot): rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* WORKSFORME Yes I think that fixes the problem. But what are these files and why do they cause this problem? Segafualts and loss of data are likely due to removing an rpmdb environment without correcting other problems in the rpmdb. FYI: Most rpmdb "hangs" are now definitely fixed by purging stale read locks when opening a database environment in rpm-4.4.8-0.4. There's more todo, but I'm quite sure that a large class of problems with symptoms of "hang" are now corrected. Detecting damage by verifying when needed is well automated in rpm-4.4.8-0.4. Automatically correcting all possible damage is going to take more work, but a large class of problems is likely already fixed in rpm-4.4.8-0.4 as well. UPSTREAM |
