I am using rpm-3.0.4-0.6.i386.rpm with
rawhide-release-19991207-1.noarch.rpm and RPM hands (never returns controll
to shall) when instaling on try to upgrade the folowing packages:

problem.

Problem showed up in releases ufter Nov 28 1999.

Unless you're interested in helping to debug rpm-3.0.4, you should stick
with the production rpm-3.0.3.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 1999-12-10 17:10:59 UTC

Does this problem still exist with rpm-3.0.4-0.8 or later? I've fixed a
couple of nasty memory corruption problems ...

Comment 3 Jaroslaw Sosnicki 1999-12-13 02:02:59 UTC

It looks OK with rpm=3.4.4-0.9.i386.rpm

Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 1999-12-13 11:12:59 UTC

Thanks for testing.
