I am using rpm-3.0.4-0.6.i386.rpm with
rawhide-release-19991207-1.noarch.rpm and RPM hands (never returns controll
to shall) when instaling on try to upgrade the folowing packages:

I wonder twhat is the common thing between all listed files that cause this
problem.

Problem showed up in releases ufter Nov 28 1999.

Unless you're interested in helping to debug rpm-3.0.4, you should stick
with the production rpm-3.0.3.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 1999-12-10 17:10:59 UTC

Does this problem still exist with rpm-3.0.4-0.8 or later? I've fixed a
couple of nasty memory corruption problems ...

Comment 3 Jaroslaw Sosnicki 1999-12-13 02:02:59 UTC

It looks OK with rpm=3.4.4-0.9.i386.rpm

Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 1999-12-13 11:12:59 UTC

Thanks for testing.
