rpm -qa
These lockups do not occur on FC6 and IIRC they got even fixed on the later RHEL5 snapshots. The workaround is rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* The likely cause is inconsistent data in the cache. And detecting/correcting stale locks is fixed in rpm-4.4.8-0.4 in late November 2006. I am aware of `rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*' and the problem was reproducing itself again and again despite such cache clears. It is interesting FC6 rpm-4.4.2-32.x86_64 did not reproduce this problem so far for me but it does not mean much, I also moved i686->x86_64 since that time. Feel free to close it. |
