Nice. But : when I freshen a package, the scripts had not finish yet,
and I get the
prompt back, so you end up with a concurrency access to RPM database,
like this :
U MandrakeUpdate VER 7.1-26mdk -> 7.1-27mdk
Freshen MandrakeUpdate (yes/NO)? yes
MandrakeUpdate
##################################################
U MySQL VER 3.23.22-2mdk -> 3.23.23-1mdk
Freshen MySQL (yes/NO)? yes
cannot get exclusive lock on database
error: cannot open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
=> because MandrakeUpdate install was not finished (checked with a quick
'ps ax')
So, in that case, I have to restart the script ...
