Description of problem: Constant RPM problems since going with FC6. Did a fresh install of FC6. Then updated with Yum. Then installed the rest of my normal packages. Left gnome-yum up overnight once and yumupdate daemon was enabled. Tried to finish the installs and the rpm database was hopelessly corrupted. Rebuilt the database and reran the packages I wanted to install and things were good for a few days. Then doing a yum update from the command line it went away and for 2 days I let it churn before killing the process. Removed all the locks and was able to install ONLY by removing locks for a time. Then had to rebuild the database. This most recent rebuilddb effort lasted all of 2 days before the database was hopelessly corrupted again. Still have yet to finish updating packages. Now when I try to rebuild the DB I get a seg fault. When I ps for rpm these processes are ones I typically kill before removing the locks and rebuilding the db. /usr/lib/rpm/rpmq -q --all --queryformat Name :%{NAME}\nArch :%{ARCH}\nVersion:%{VERSION}\nRelease:%{RELEASE}\nSize :%{SIZE}\nRepo :installed\nSummary:%{SUMMARY}\n\nDescription:\n%{DESCRIPTION}\n\n /usr/lib/rpm/rpmq -q --all --qf %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/rpm I normally have several copies of each.
