Bugs. > How to solve the problem? Dunno, but I can tell you what I do to recover from such breakdowns (at average ca. 2-3 times per week with FC6) 1. reboot 2. rm -f /var/lib/__db* 3. rpm --rebuilddb 4. Check for duplicate entries inside of the rpmdb and "yum remove" all older versions it might contain. 5. As prevention from silent unattended breakdowns: Disable yum-updatesd Ralf
