Please help out with this, not being able to up2date or use rpm to upgrade updated packages that were downloaded ain't fun. Try
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
to remove stale locks.
Does that fix?
Missed SIGPIPE is usual cause of stale locks.
That's fixed in rpm-4.2-1 (for Red Hat 9) and
rpm-4.1.1 (for Red Hat 8.0) packages at
ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist
ah, yes that helped. up2date is now underway. thnx. |
