Description of problem: Performed an install from CD using anaconda. Selected Custom/Everything, everything else left as default. Installed packages ok, rebooted, registered for rhn from within firstboot, changed up2date config to remove kernel* from and add kde-i18n-* to skiplist, ran up2date. It downloaded rpms ok, but hung on installing first package (WindowMaker). By hung, I mean the window stopped refreshing. I telnet'ed in from another machine and discovered a couple of curious things: - the size of my RPM database was huge: Packages file was ~40Mb, Basename was ~10Mb, whereas on another identical install these files as ~16Mb and ~2.7Mb - strace of the up2date process revealed that it was looping in: select(0,NULL,NULL,NULL,{1,0}) = Timeout - attempts to use rpm command resulted in the same strace Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: unable to reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
