Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2002-10-18 17:12:57 EDT 
is there a rpm process running somewhere that would hold
the rpm database open?

Shouldnt traceback of course, taking a look at that...
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-10-25 09:16:23 EDT 
There are no rpm Processes running that would hold the rpm database open

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2002-11-04 17:59:52 EST 
Can you try:
     rpm --rebuilddb


Was this install a upgrade from a previous release (6.2?)

Also, it could be a permssions problem if ran as non-root.
up2date is supposed to detect this case and handle it (
and does so correctly as far as I know) but the rpm maintainer
suggested it as possible reason the rpm db would fail to
open.
Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2004-04-05 17:04:15 EDT 
Shouldnt be an issue with currently supported releases.
