Ok, now i'm trying to "rpm -Uvh" another package, and rpm is blocked. It does not install the package, it does not return an error. I have to kill -9 it. rpm --rebuilddb doesn't work either. Again, only kill -9 solves it. Very bad. :-( Ok, i rebooted the system, and now i can run rpm again. I'm rebuilding the database right now. "Reboot to fix" doesn't seem like Linux... I knew this was a plot to make me run WinDoze! Yup, you need to do rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* after doing "kill -9", that's what the reboot did for you. Original problem was probably missed SIGCHLD, packages with that fix currently at ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/test-4.1 See bugzilla #73097 for details. |
