Doing the Ctrl-C often leads to what you are experiencing, and I imagine similar actions of stopping rpm from doing something it
is in
the middle of.
I think that was it!
Me thinks you will need to delete your current rpm database and then do
an
"rpm --rebuilddb".
I'll try that. I've never had to delete my rpm database before. Where would I find that?
/rick
rpm -ql rpm [..] /var/lib/rpm/__db.001 /var/lib/rpm/__db.002 /var/lib/rpm/__db.003 /var/lib/rpm/__db.004
These __db.00* files seem to be lock files that can get left behind when an rpm process is exited uncleanly. The popular fix to try first, when no rpm process is running, is:
rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* rpm --rebuilddb
