There's some strange bug in the version of rpm that ships with RHL 8. Remove all of these temporary files: /var/lib/rpm/__* . That should solve the problem temporarily, although it will probably recur. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=74726 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73097 There are several other bugs there with more information on the problem. I guess there will be an errata released soon. --Jeremy _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
