Possibilities: - bug in rpm / rpm database corruption - packaging bug (e.g. hanging postinstall script that redirects all output to /dev/null). If this were an easily reproduced bug, there would probably be more reports of it, though.

I've seen mid-transaction termination of rpm transactions lead to all sorts of ugliness. -Mark Gordon On Fri, 2003-07-18 at 14:56, Evan Wheeler wrote: > Hi Ximian Gurus: > > I have tried repeatedly to install Evolution 1.4 on Redhat 9 from > various Ximian mirror sites using the installer script.
