From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061219 Fedora/1.5.0.9-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.9 pango-text Description of problem: In fc6 with updates, rpm frequently hangs while installing or updating, and often pup crashes while checking for updates. After doing 'rpm --rebuilddb' the installing, updating, or checking via pup returns to normal. I haven't been able to discover a pattern to reproduce this bug. Often rpm works just as it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.4.2-32 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to install or update a package. 2.rpm hangs. 3. Actual Results: Sometimes rpm hangs (or pup crashes). Expected Results: rpm never hangs or crashes while installing or updating. Additional info: Here is a bug-buddy file from pup (for what it's worth): Component: Software Updater Summary: TB8a9160cb comps.py:143:parse_package_list:CompsException Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 659, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 655, in main pup.run() File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 494, in run self.doRefresh() File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 269, in doRefresh self.reposSetup(pbar) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/__init__.py", line 153, in reposSetup self.doGroupSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 408, in doGroupSetup self.comps.add(groupfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 339, in add group = Group(elem) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 57, in __init__ self.parse(elem) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 133, in parse self.parse_package_list(child) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 143, in parse_package_list raise CompsException CompsException Local variables in innermost frame: genre: optinoal self: Graphics package: digikam packagelist_elem: <Element 'packagelist' at 0x9b2ffe0> child: <Element 'packagereq' at 0x9b2fed8>
Doing --rebuilddb is likely overkill. Try rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* to fix problems instead.
This appears to be the root cause of your traceback: https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum-devel/2007-January/003091.html
