This sounds like the infamous NFS mountpoint unreachable problem. If you run "df", does it also hang? If so, this is why rpm won't install the rpm. rpm stat's every mounted filesystem and if you have a hung NFS mount, it freezes. You can try "strace df" to see which mount point is unresponsive, then open another window and "umount -l /mnt/point" and it should unmount it. Then I imagine rpm will install your RPM. /Brian/ _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
