Try rpm-4.2-9 packages at ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/test-4.1 There is a missed sigchild fixed there. All I see available at ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/test-4.1 is rpm-4.1-9. That version works fine, and I am using it on my 8.0 machine. However, that version would be a downgrade from the the one included with the beta, no? Included with the beta is rpm-4.2-0.25.1. Should I downgrade to 4.1-9 on Pheobe? Apologies, the same fix is already in rpm-4.2, my brain fart. The "hang" is almost certainly coming from a stale lock. The workaround for the moment is to do rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* to remove stale locks residnt in those files. The "fix" will be to use nptl /dev/futex locks which are refcounted, and disappear when refcount goes to 0, liminating stale locks. The "fix" is in the works, deferred until then. Observed something similar with rpm-4.2-0.56 on fresh phoebe (beta 2). rpm -Uv package.rpm hang. strace revealed that it was waiting on futex(0x405ca1ec,FUTEX_WAIT,0,NULL gdb says that the hang occured in __lock_get_rpmdb I did a rpm --rebuilddb after a reboot and it produced: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy but I have not seen the hangs since then (i.e. during last 2 hours). |
