Hi This is not very nice yum behavior. On my FC3 box, yum reports that packages were successfully installed but due to problems with transaction lock they actually weren't. It's confusing and yum should report something more meaningful. I guess this is already fixed in rawhide, but would be great to have it fixed in FC3 also. Here's my output Dependencies Resolved Transaction Listing: Install: beecrypt-devel.i386 0:3.1.0-6 - base Install: elfutils-devel.i386 0:0.96-1 - base Install: elfutils-libelf-devel.i386 0:0.96-1 - base Total download size: 437 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/3): elfutils-libelf-de 100% |=========================| 50 kB 00:01 (2/3): beecrypt-devel-3.1 100% |=========================| 358 kB 00:02 (3/3): elfutils-devel-0.9 100% |=========================| 29 kB 00:00 Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction error: can't create transaction lock Installed: beecrypt-devel.i386 0:3.1.0-6 elfutils-devel.i386 0:0.96-1 elfutils-libelf-devel.i386 0:0.96-1 Complete! root@taz ~# echo $? 0 root@taz ~# rpm -q beecrypt-devel package beecrypt-devel is not installed root@taz ~# rpm -q yum yum-2.2.2-0.fc3 -- Radek Vokál <radekvokal@xxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
