Description of problem: All `dnf ...` commands stall with no output. Some rpm commands also stall. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): `dnf --version` stalls How reproducible: every time (dnf was working fine 1-2 months ago...) Steps to Reproduce: # dnf -v help [waited 5 minutes for anything to happen, then forced to background: ^Z] # kill -KILL `pgrep dnf` [1]+ Killed dnf -v help # cat /var/log/dnf.*.log /var/log/dnf.log # rm -fr /var/cache/dnf # dnf -v help [new terminal] # netstat --wide --numeric --program --timers --all|grep -e `pgrep dnf` - (standard input):unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 480908 21698/python3 [waited 5 minutes for anything to happen, then forced to background: ^Z] # kill -KILL `pgrep dnf` [1]+ Killed dnf -v help # cat /var/log/dnf.*.log /var/log/dnf.log # rm -fr /var/cache/dnf # rpm -q librepo curl dnf [new terminal] # top -p `pgrep rpm` [shows rpm always in a sleeping state with no cpu usage: ^C] [waited 5 minutes for anything to happen, then forced to background: ^Z] # kill -KILL `pgrep rpm` [1]+ Killed rpm -q librepo curl dnf # cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three) Expected results: No stalls, some cpu activity, any spawned processes to place the blame on, some relevant error messages in any log files...
Can you attach core dump file of the process, please? So the rpm stalls too?
Didn't consider a core dump, sorry, dnf and rpm seem to work fine now, the only significant action I took was to restart my computer, I've bookmarked this bug, and will try to follow up if I notice this issue again.
