No, it doesn't work, and daily cron jobs are crashing as a result:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/run-parts: line 36: 6339 Killed $i 2>&1
6340 | awk -v "progname=$i" 'progname {
print progname ":\n"
progname="";
}
{ print; }'
/usr/bin/run-parts: line 36: 19569 Hangup $i 2>&1
19570 | awk -v "progname=$i" 'progname {
print progname ":\n"
progname="";
}
{ print; }
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens is that when I run rpm -Fvh, it says that it can't find a V3
DSA signature for cups. Then it says "Preapring"...and then it hangs.
Erasing the database, as you suggested, didn't help; when I rebuilt it, or
tried to rebuilt it, it hung. My system otherwise works fine.
What I did to cause this mess:
1. I put the httpd and cups RPMs in a temporary directory.
I did an "rpm -Fvh". They installed fine. httpd and cups work great.
Then, I edited my yum.conf to grab them when I type "yum update".
When I did that, it hung looking for updates. Yum or rpm haven't worked
since.
