[linuxconf] when upgrading, "no tty available - linuxconf quitting"

[Sean Stoner]

When upgrading linuxconf from 1.10* on RH 4.2 boxes to the latest 1.13r3-1 using rpm -Uhv, I get:

 

**** No tty available ... linuxconf quitting
**** No tty available ... linuxconf quitting
**** No tty available ... linuxconf quitting

 

and rpm hangs. When I perform a ps ax | grep linuxconf, I get these processes that run indefinitely:

 

29087  p2 S    0:05 rpm -Uhv linuxconf-1.13r3-1.i386.rpm linuxconf-gui-1.13r3-1
29114  p2 S    0:00 sh /usr/lib/linuxconf/install/rpm-postinst.sh 2
29142  p2 S    0:00 sh /usr/lib/linuxconf/redhat/scripts/setmodules.sh
29160  p2 S    0:00 linuxconf --setmod motd

 

What's the problem here? How can I correct it? Thanks.
