From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: While trying to install some rpms from freshrpms.net (xine and its dependencies) rpm locked up after showing that the first rpm has been installed. After manually removing /var/lib/rpm/__* and rerunning rpm -Uvh * everything worked fine. At first I tried to install only a subset of all needed rpms for xine. Sometimes I got the list of the missing dependencies and sometimes rpm just gave a segmentation fault error. These kind of problems occured to me on Red Hat 8.0 but never on Red Hat 9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to install xine and its dependencies 2. 3. Additional info:
I see no reproducible problem here. I can't fix what I can't reproduce.
I've had this problem periodically on my laptop as well. A fresh install and up2date will occasionally hang. I was able to work around it by installing some packages slowly and making sure i had all of the dependencies beforehand. This didn't happen on an older dell laptop, just on the newer t30... Not reopening because this still isn't much of a bug report :)
