This is the update advisory that addresses this. I haven't had any problems since. Mandrake Linux Update Advisory _______________________________________________________________________ Package name: rpm Advisory ID: MDKA-2003:030-1 Date: December 4th, 2003 Original Advisory Date: November 18th, 2003 Affected versions: 9.2 ______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A bug was found in the way that rpm locks it's database in that it prevents update-menus from running properly and can cause the loss of KDE, GNOME, and other WM menus. This package provides a better locking mechanism that should prevent this improper behaviour. Update: The previous package did not properly clean up the lock file when issuing a --rebuilddb. This has been corrected by these packages Mandrake Linux 9.2: popt-1.8-22.1.92mdk.i586.rpm popt-devel-1.8-22.1.92mdk.i586.rpm rpm-4.2-22.1.92mdk.i586.rpm rpm-build-4.2-22.1.92mdk.i586.rpm rpm-devel-4.2-22.1.92mdk.i586.rpm rpm-python-4.2-22.1.92mdk.i586.rpm rpm-4.2-22.1.92mdk.src.rpm HTH - -- RickS Linux user #338463 Why does Microsoft keep asking me "Where do you want to go today?" But Linux is the one that always takes me there 8] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/7Fffc8FpDuUpLEERAqh9AJwPpQGSrQM5yBrjGrUgdvWF/ANwAACfYago E4KC04HNMoL2rsW2mwm4FgE= =Byzl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
