Use that instead if you want to see whether you have a stale lock (you do). Or just do rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* to nuke the stale lock. And upgrade to (at least) rpm-4.1.1 (for RHL 8.0) or rpm-4.2 (for RHL 9) to fix the problem. The reproducer is rpm -qa | less and exit early (i.e. SIGPIPE not handled correctly leaves a stale lock). 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
