From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Description of problem: As I am using rpm to install additional packages rpm will hang after trying to install a number of time (anywhere from 5 to 10). The install gets to 100% on the # marks but hangs before returning to the command line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install multiple rpm packages using rpm -Uvh package-name.rpm 2. rpm hangs befroe returning to the command line 3. kill rpm and try to rpm --rebuilddb which also hangs Additional info: I do use USB mass storage. 2 units I have had a filesystem issue following using these units twice now. fsck was able to fix the problems but some files were affected. I have reloaded the affected files and everything seems to be OK. I am not sure if this has impacted rpm at all. I have since reloaded rpm by installing the rpm again over the existing package. This has not helped with this issue. Basically I either have a problem with USB storage, rpm or both. My rpm problem seems to be reasonably reproducable at the moment so I thought I would file a bug.

Hmmm, you appear to be killing rpm prematurely on upgrade, this is bugzilla #73200. If you do kill rpm with -9, you will have to do rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* That should remedy the subsequent hangs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73200 ***
