As root, after removing the lock files, "rpm --verifydb", and then "rpm --rebuilddb" if there are problems and the Packages file is OK. Or just "rpm --rebuilddb" as --verifydb doesn't catch everything, if you don't care to know about errors. If your database was OK, file a bug on yum at bugzilla.redhat.org, giving the backtrace so it can be fixed. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
