Hey,Im having a similar (same?) problem starting today after upgrading. Did you upgrade from 8.0 or fresh install? I upgraded and wonder if thats related. Also I upgraded from the beta which further complicates.
I have rh9 installed on a few test machines and so far everything's been
going good. But this morning I ran 'up2date -l' on one of my test
machines and it didn't do anything after a few minutes. I thought maybe
the redhat service was down so I tried it on another machine but that
worked fine.
-Mark
So I ctrl-c'ed it and did an 'rpm -qa' to see if the rpm database was screwed up, but that worked okay. Doing a 'ps aux | grep up2date' showed that the up2date process was still running so I tried to 'kill -15 <pid>' but that didn't work so I had to kill -9 it. Then I proceeded to remove those /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* files and run rpm --rebuilddb like redhat 8 and this is what I got when I tried to rebuild the rpm database:
[root@xxxxxxx rpm]# rpm --rebuilddb error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy
and up2date still doesn't produce any output. Any help would be great.
later,
ajay
