Subject: RPM Hangs
I am using rpm version 4.2 on redhat 9 (Shrike)
I have found that I have been getting hangs and segmentation faults when I try and install rpm packages. I have also found that many of the rpm packages I had installed are not listed when I do rpm -qa.
I have followed instructions here http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/ to rebuild the rpm database the packages but that doesn't have any effect. (ie rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*, rpm --rebuilddb ..etc)
I tried to upgrade to v4.2.1 but I think that I have rpm 4.1 installed as an rpm however I can't verify
this. I tried to upgrade to v4.2.1 but i get a hang
see the following debug.
Any help appreciated.

I seem to remember that I had to issue the commands:
unset LANG
and maybe:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
to get around that.
