It suddenly started happening on a machine that was running it fine before. It seems that a succession of "rpm -q" and then any modification (rpm -e, rpm -i) will cause a lockup. I will be running straces today and be posting more about it. Needless to say that this is quite a bummer... Is there any additional state being kept except in the database? Is there any way to verify the consistency of that state? -- cg _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
