Has anyone had the issue of rpm instance failing and requiring a reboot to get rpm to work properly again? I tried to install some rpm's from freshrpms (mplayer, transcode, etc) and had to firstly confirm no dependencies by running rpm in the bash shell (in the gui nothing happened) rpm -i --test whatever.i386.rpm if this was OK then I did the rpm -i if there was a dependency package missing sometimes it would alert me other times it would report a segmentation fault. After the segmentation fault I could still run the rpm --test but any attempt would leave rpm running only a -9 kill would release the process. TIA Steve
