Apologies for shouting but we have a genuine, rare, rpmdb-eating bug (shade of dark paperbag) at hand: DO NOT UPGRADE TO rpm-4.11.0-0.beta1.2.fc19! The buggy version is expected to appear in todays rawhide-push. I've built a new version where the broken %ghost-related patch is reverted but there's a day-long danger-zone before the new build will be pushed. It's best just to avoid upgrading to the buggy rpm version at all, but if you have already happened to update to it one way or the other, DONT PANIC but BACK UP /var/lib/rpm/ before anything else. Merely upgrading to that version wont kill your rpmdb, but on the next update of rpm itself, it will COMPLETELY ERASE /var/lib/rpm/ contents. Recovering isn't exactly hard if you have an up-to-date backup, but otherwise... - Panu - -- Regards, Frank http//www.frankly3d.com -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
