Thanks. My search skills need polishing - I didn't find that one. I removed the lock files, then tested for rpm - and it seems that I must have destroyed that while trying to sort out the db problem. Requesting a re-install brought up the need for 131 packages! Towards the end, that failed, saying that certain packages were required. I tried to install those, but seem to be stumbling on sound-scripts-0.62-1.mga2.noarch.rpm which it says is missing. Attempting to install sound-scripts separately asks whether I want to use systemd-sysvinit or sysvinit-legacy. I've tried both, but both fail due to missing sound-scripts. Anne - -- Need KDE help?
