Thanx for the speedy reply.
I use an NT machine for day - to - day (bosses orders) and our web server is the linux box in question.
I feel your pain.
I just ran up2date httpd and it crashed installing
error: db4 error (-30989) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: requested page not found
Indeed - rpm as shipped in RH8/9 is broken.
Get all the rpm version 4.2-1 package from rpm.org, along with popt-1.8-1, install them and be happy.
If rpm is hung you will first need to go to /var/lib/rpm and remove all __db* files, then all rpm processes can be killed, and you can do the upgrade.
Hope this helps,
Joe
