have no fear: you're not alone.. RPM when i installed hung once on every two files. I did a rpm --rebuilddb -vv with an error message at the end about resource busy.Turned out to be an old error message ( is in bugzilla ) that error in itself is harmless . I finnally deleted the db files in the rpm dir and rebuilddb again .. that time it worked. seems like it's a corrupted db error of some kind. But now it works so i didnt pursue further. We also had on the channel many people reporting unmet deps like rpm -ivh program.rpm ... unmet deps /var/lib/xyz but if you did a locate xyz it's right in /var/lib where it says it aint. --nodeps took care of some of those Dont worry you're not alone : ) Ric On Sat, 5 Apr 2003 18:34:57 -0800 Jesse Keating <hosting@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Saturday 05 April 2003 17:11, Robert P.
