Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2003-04-21 14:14:48 UTC
Do you have pointers to packages? If so I can verify
that CLI install works ...

Comment 3 schiebe 2003-04-21 14:44:17 UTC
Sorry. what mean pointers to package? Iam not from us :-)
But i have an example:

[root@campgrounds schiebe]# rpm -e lmule-1.1.13c-fr2
(hangs since 5 min..)
(the lmule package is from freshrpms.net- extra build for RH9)

[root@campgrounds schiebe]# strace -p 18063
futex(0x405c415c, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL <unfinished ...>


Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2003-04-21 14:52:59 UTC
OK, so the problem affects many packages, not just gstreamer.

Have you tried
    rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*


Comment 5 schiebe 2003-04-21 15:13:41 UTC
Now it work! The packages is erased. 
?!
