Lately I've been downloading and upgrading to the latest Mozilla builds from rawhide. There have been quite a few updates posted recently. I've encountered a behavior with rpm that makes me wonder if I'm the only one who has seen it. Situation: I've just downloaded latest mozilla*.rpm files from rawhide. It's been anywhere from 2 hours to 1 week since I last ran rpm. I try to use rpm to upgrade Mozilla: # rpm -Fvh mozilla* Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:mozilla-nspr ########################################### [ 9%] _ Here rpm stalls. For hours. Until I kill it. Delete the /var/lib/rpm/__db* files and run 'rpm --rebuilddb' (ignoring the bogus 'error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy' message). After rebuilding, rpm runs smartly: # rpm -Fvh mozilla* Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:mozilla-nspr ########################################### [ 9%] 2:mozilla ########################################### [ 18%] 3:mozilla-nss ########################################### [ 27%] 4:mozilla-mail ########################################### [ 36%] 5:mozilla-chat ########################################### [ 45%] 6:mozilla-devel ########################################### [ 55%] 7:mozilla-dom-inspector ########################################### [ 64%] 8:mozilla-js-debugger ########################################### [ 73%] 9:mozilla-nspr-devel ########################################### [ 82%] 10:mozilla-nss-devel ########################################### [ 91%] 11:mozilla-psm ########################################### [100%] Has anyone else noticed this behavior with rpm-4.2-0.69? It appears that something is corrupting my database between uses. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
