Description R P Herrold 2000-06-18 20:28:30 EDT

Running a query while a package install is running in another window yields
this lock message:

cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
 
failed to open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm: No such file or directory
  

dbiOpen: cannot open Packages index   

-------------------

The CORRECT name of this package is:    Packages            
and NOT   packages.rpm 

... is this an error message problem, or a filename issue?

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-06-20 21:43:26 EDT

This is largely a problem with aging and misleading error messages rather
than a real problem. The current algorithm, when the desired db3 open fails,
is to attempt a db1 open, which of course also fails. A more precise return
from the db3 open will permit skipping the futile db1 open attempt.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2000-07-20 14:05:12 EDT

This should be fixed in rpm-4.0-0.56. Please reopen if not.
