Hi,
Problems, problems...this is upgraded RH8, seemingly running like a
top. Until I go to remove a package that was installed during the
install. The rpm -evv hung at:
warning: /etc/logrotate.d/privoxy saved as
/etc/logrotate.d/privoxy.rpmsave
D: erase: %postun(privoxy-3.0.0-2) asynchronous scriptlet start
D: erase: %postun(privoxy-3.0.0-2) execv(/bin/sh) pid 23986

+ id privoxy

+ /bin/true
D: erase: waitpid(23986) rc 23986 status 0
D: --- h# 2271 privoxy-3.0.0-2
I waited about 30 minutes. No go. No cpu being used at all, just
sitting there. kill -KILL was the only way to get the prompt back.
Now, any and all rpm commands hang. Including 'rpm --rebuilddb'. No cpu, no
sign of disk activity, nothing. If this was waiting for PID 23986 to
exit, there was no such PID when I checked.
# rpm -vv --rebuilddb
D: rebuilding database /var/lib/rpm into /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.24146
D: creating directory /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.24146
D: opening old database with dbapi 3
D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv
D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0
Hangs at that point. There is nothing in the tmp dir:
# ll /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.24146

ls: /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.24146/*: No such file or directory
With strace:

AFAICT.
As I say, the system otherwise seems fine. I did the fetchmail update
last night, which was the last time I rpm'd anything (IIRC). Help!
