Hey all, For a while i have the the problem that /usr/bin/gcj-dbtool hangs until i kill it. This is a problem because most java packages use it in their %pre and %post script, and so all installs (and updates) of java programs like eclipse and openoffice hang. After removing all java stuff and reinstalling I think i found the cause of the problem, or atleast the RPM that causes the problem. Before installing eclipse-cdt i can run /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db (this calls gcj-dbtool in the end) without a problem. After I install eclipse-cdt /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db will hang and ps ax will show the following. 14594 pts/0 S+ 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db 14614 pts/0 S+ 0:00 xargs -0 /usr/bin/gcj-dbtool -m /usr/lib64/gcj-4.1.0/classmap.db /usr/lib64/gcj-4.1.0/classmap.db 14615 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 /usr/bin/gcj-dbtool -m /usr/lib64/gcj-4.1.0/classmap.db /usr/lib64/gcj-4.1.0/classmap.db /usr/lib64/gcj/eclipse-cdt/cdtmakeui.jar.db /usr/lib64/gcj/eclipse-cdt/cdtmicore.1 The yum install/update will hang untill i do "kill 14615", than it continues like this Running Transaction Installing: eclipse-cdt ######################### [1/1] xargs: /usr/bin/gcj-dbtool: terminated by signal 15 Installed: eclipse-cdt.x86_64 1:3.0.1-1jpp_3fc Complete! >From now on every packages that uses /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db will hang yum/rpm when it is being installed or uninstalled. Removing the eclipse-cdt rpm fixes the problem again. - Erwin -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
