Hi all, RPM on my F9 install seems to be misbehaving. Add/Remove Software (aka PakageKit) seems to hang on certain packages. It hung once on wine 1.0, and now it hung twice in a row on gtk+=1:1.2.10-61.fc9(i386). In the case of wine, it didn't move overnight before I killed it. The program gets stuck on "Installing packages". The weird thing is that even killing PackageKit and removing /var/run/yum.pid does not help to bring it back to life. I have to reboot the machine to get PackageKit to work again. I mean that if I run rpm on a downloaded file after PackageKit hangs, rpm will hang as well. For example: # rpm -ivvvvh /tmp/cinepaint-0.23-0.i386.rpm D: ============== /tmp/cinepaint-0.23-0.i386.rpm D: Expected size: 6561760 = lead(96)+sigs(180)+pad(4)+data(6561480) D: Actual size: 6561760 D: /tmp/cinepaint-0.23-0.i386.rpm: Header SHA1 digest: OK (a8cb83d7c1cecf520fa564929a1e6c1fb4f81741) D: added binary package [0] D: found 0 source and 1 binary packages D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 That's it - no more output, nothing, Ctrl-C has no effect, only kill -9 will kill the process. If it helps, # rpm --version RPM version 4.4.2.3 Funny thing is I have the exact same setup on another machine and never had a problem doing any installs or updates. All suggestion would be highly appreciated!
