Description of problem: I'm getting errors from RPM whenever I do something like installing RPMs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.69 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm --rebuilddb Actual results: [root@linux-ben root]# rpm --rebuilddb error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy Expected results: No errors. =D Additional info: I found some references on the RPM list that this is harmless, but anything that spits out an error related to my RPM database scares me. Is there something that would cause this? I've just done a clean install and I've barely installed anything yet.
Yes, it's harmless. There's an out of order attempt to remove the environment, fails just like rmdir / fails, because the dbenv is still in use. There's another bug here someplace to get this really fixed, so I'm gonna close this bug.
