There was a problem with the glint shipped with redhat-5.1. Upgrade
to the latest one on the redhat site.
However I suspect the above error is caused because glint finds a
non-rpm file in the directory it is searching. On the redhat site
for instance, there is a directory called jpeg in the updates
directory and this causes glint to hang. So check your directory
and make sure all the files are .rpm.

Tony.
