okay, I'm open to suggestions. The last time we stepped around the problem using menno's work for an opportunistic access to the rpmdb it was purported that we were corrupting the rpmdb. That may or may not have turned out to be the case as there was another kernel mmap issue at the same time. However, I'm game to figuring out ways of fixing this issue w/o waiting for rpm modifications to occur. Do we want to try menno's patch to the rpmdb access again? Or are there other suggestions? -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
