(or see below)

eric

--------------------------------

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.
