That has nothing whatsoever to do with you. Try cd /var/lib/rpm /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_stat -CA and watch the output. Run rpm -qa as root, ^Z out, and you will se a lock appear. Restart the rpm -qa, run to completion, watch the lock disappear. Repeat, but kill the rpm -qa with kill -9, watch a persistent stale lock be left behind. Then try running rpm -qa while installing, as that's the "feature" that these locks are about, concurrent access. In fact, try installing 2 packages simultaneously, that works. Can you break concurrent access by installing hundreds of pkgs simultaneously? Sure, feel free to do so, if the problem is exactly reproducible, I may even have a prayer of attempting a fix. Anyways, I dinna mean to be gruff, apologies. 73 de Jeff -- Jeff Johnson ARS N3NPQ jbj@xxxxxxxxxx (jbj@xxxxxxx) Chapel Hill, NC _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
