Package name: rpm
Advisory ID: MDKA-2003:030
Date: November 18th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.2

Problem Description:
A bug was found in the way that rpm locks it's database in that it
prevents update-menus from running properly and can cause the loss
of
KDE, GNOME, and other WM menus.
This package provides a better locking mechanism that should
prevent
this improper behaviour.
