Well, there's this: <http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2333> <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88164>
Ok, so those bug reports suggest running rpm-4.2-1. I ruled that cause out in my post that started this thread. I quote myself:
"""
Finally, I know the standard thing-to-do is rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* and install a more recent version of rpm. But I've already got rpm-4.2-1 on these machines, so those locking issues shouldn't be causing a problem. """
I guess I should try installing the package directly with rpm, rather than with yum, and see if it's successful. Unless anyone can make sense of the two strace outputs I posted....
