At the moment RPM database is damaged; then rpm -q hanged. I could repeat that by removing __db* files and running rpm --rebuilddb; then yum; After I restored /var/lib/rpm contents, rpm -Uvh and rpm -ivh completed successfully. So it seems like a bug in yum. Is that a known problem? Best regards, Wojtek -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
