Hi,
I've come across something that I haven't seen before, but my RPM binary doesn't seem to work. If I try to install or upgrade any RPMs, it just sits and doesn't do anything.
rpm -qa, rpm --help, and rpm --version work, but that's it. I tried rpm --list to see if the last rpm installed might have done something, but that doesn't work either. Any ideas on what might be up or how to fix this? Mandrake 8.2
Thanks, /rick
When an rpm process seems to be hanging, what I would do (with no rpm process running):
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* rpm --rebuilddb
It is fairly common for the database to get mucked up by these files, which seem to be left behind when an rpm process is exited uncleanly.
