Latest example;
1) rpm -Uvh with multiple packages ;
First package installs then hangs and must ctrl-C
Then attempt to reissue command and the rest install okay
after I remove the first package.
2) [root@home bill]# rpm -Uvh xmovie*
xmovie

>hangs again.<
[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?!
Of course perhaps there is already a new rpm and I just
haven't gotten through to the site with the update?
