We are about to start distributing a prototypical machine configuration to 50 other machines and disaster has struck. First I saw this error from doing rpm --rebuilddb error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy I was told this was not a problem. Shortly after that the installation of an rpm hung and subsequently the whole rpm database seems destroyed. rpm --rebuilddb hangs. rpm -qa hangs -- I am sort of at the end of my rope. The only progress I can make which is tedious is starting from the beginning and create a database by using a command such as : rpm -i --justdb --nodeps xxxx.rpm for every rpm which works. There must be a better way but I can't find it. I need help urgently. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
