[root@home bill]# rpm -q xmovie xmovie-1.4-1mdk xmovie-1.5.1-1mdk I waited 5 minutes before Ctrl-C Never saw this behavior before with any distribution?!

Nope - I just rsync'ed against the Norway site so I'm current, and it's still 3.0.5-22mdk. That said, I believe RedHat is actually using RPM v4 these days... -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Cooker] rpm-3.0.5-22mdk
It's the new wait-for-lock patch, it get's caught in an endless loop. I haven't tried debugging it, but as soon as I removed the patch and re-installed the package it was fine. John Never saw this behavior before with any distribution?! Of course perhaps there is already a new rpm and I just haven't gotten through to the site with the update?

They are currently using rpm 3.0.6, but have it compiled so, that it creates v4 compatible packages IIRC.

[Cooker] rpm-3.0.5-22mdk
New rpm package is very luckily to freeze when multiple rpm are installed/upgrade simultaneously, with a rpm -U XFree86* for example. This seems to be related to recent change in rpm database locking policy. -- Guillaume Rousse Murphy's law : If anything can go wrong, it will. O'Tool's commentary : Murphy was an optimist.

I then shot myself in the foot: rpm -ivh rpm-3.0.5-21mdk --oldpackage I then decided to stick with the newest copy, so I deleted the old one: rpm -e rpm-3.0.5-21mdk Lo and behold, the old package got deleted, but since files were in common between the old and the new, the rpm executable got deleted. Not nice... Luckily I was able to ftp a copy of /bin/rpm so that I could re-install the latest rpm rpm. We do need a fixed rpm package though. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
