yum/RPM crash?

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!

TIA,
Peter
