When doing anything with RPM, it hangs. RPM will not respoind to 
Ctrl+C nor kill nor killall rpm. Eventually a server reboot is 
required to kill the process.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type rpm, you can use any option

Actual Results:  RPm hung, and would not die in response to all kill 
signals

Expected Results:  RPM should have finished or died.

Additional info:

I'm running RedHat EL3 AS on a Compaq Proliant 850R. Everything else 
runs at the speed of light.

Try
    rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
and repeat the command.

Does that fix?
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2004-01-02 18:15:20 UTC 
RPM had become corrupt, so I reinstalled it with the Install Disks. 
Now it works fine.
