You could have prolly fixed this by grepping the output from lsof to see what was currently locking the db.
I didn't think of 'lsof' as I had used 'ps' and killed off everything that looked like rpm.
Wouldn't you have thought rpm would have said something like "can't get lock" rather than just going comatose?
Yes, i'd think so too, but i've seen some less than desirable behavior from rpm-4.x. I had rpm 'lockup' on me on one of my RH9 boxes as well.
This sounds like the same old problem RHL 8.0 had. rpm periodically choked (froze, locked-up, whatever). There used to be a bugzilla report on it at bugzilla.redhat.com... yeah:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73097 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72543
But they both are closed.
I haven't had any recent problems with rpm locking up on me. $ rpm -q rpm rpm-4.1.1-1.8x
