I tried to remove an rpm from my system (RH 8) earlier this evening, but the computer seemed to have stalled. I killed the process, and began executing rpm --rebuilddb. So far it has taken nearly ten minutes to do this, and I'm hearing no disk activity on my computer.
What could be causing this delay? Is it something that I should be panicking about?
Just as well you put down you're using RH8.
This is a know bug and due to stale RPM lock file.
