[expert] RPM locked up! -- Solved!

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear Ernest:

Thanks so much for writing. You guessed correctly. I didn't give the
uninstallation (rpm -e quanta) enough time to do its job. It was taking
inordinately long, but I should have waited. I had to rebuild my rpm
(updateddb, rpm --rebuilddb), and now everything is OK.

Thank you again.

Benjamin
