Recently I tried to check which RPMs I had installed for a few packages, and the rpm -qa | grep <package_name> took forever. This has happened in the past, so I just rebuild the database.
rpm --rebuilddb I've done this many times in the past, with a number of machines, and it goes through, takes a few minutes, but then works when it's done. So I tried this recently, and it never really rebuilds the database. I've been trying to rebuild the database for an hour now, and it's just sitting there. r2d2 mail # rpm --rebuilddb r2d2 ~ $ ps auxw | grep rpm root 25037 0.0 0.6 5020 3148 pts/17 S 14:01 0:00 /usr/lib/rpm/rpmd --rebuilddb What's the problem here? Is there something else I should be doing? In the past, after a power outage, once it reboots, the RPM db is fine. I would rather not reboot my workstation, and figured there was another means around this. Does anybody have any ideas/suggestions? $ rpm --version RPM version 4.0.4 Thanks a lot! tdh -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.
