No, the above is "normal" output. - From another list, in a posting from Jeff Johnson at Red Hat: "There's nothing really wrong. The dbenv is used by two opens of /var/lib/rpm indices, one early to grab public keys, the other later when installing. There's an attempt to remove the environment from the 1st instance close, fails because the environment is still in use by the second instance, harmless but noisy." - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+pKdRn/07WoAb/SsRAjsnAJ9QaPa5FBH9pR8UaumzW8N5/ObgXwCfXDUT Qr2nIh+m/jiWp0OuYzjC0EY= =9tgx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
