Description Ted Kaczmarek 2003-10-11 22:16:25 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031003
Epiphany/1.0.1

Description of problem:
The dreaded hang is back.
rpm -q always return nothing on first attempt after a boot.
rpm -e fails, kill -9 and removing __db*'s not making a difference.
rpm --rebuilddb fails

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.2.1-0.30 2.4.22-1.2088.nptl

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot Fedora with kernel 2.4.22-1.2088.nptl
2. Open terminal, rpm -q
3. rpm -e
    

Actual Results:  Doesn't query on first attempt, erase not working and rebuilddb
not working.

Expected Results:  rpm -q works on first attempt, erase doesn't hang, rebuilddb
doesn't hang.

Additional info:

It seems work ok when erasing single packages, but multiple packages kill it
almost every time. Then after a while I can erase two packages, but then rpm -q
will fail again. I have yet to succesfully erase three packages with this
kernel/rpm version.
futex(0x403a8fb0, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL

Hope this is helpful.

I need more details to even attempt a guess. AFAIK rpm is
doing the same job as always for thousands of people.

So what's different about your box?

After having filesystem issues and fsck'ing it, this problem has not been
happening anymore. Vlose this baby out, and I will make a note to myself to stay
away from the 2.6.0-test.X kernels :-)
