Dear Folks,
	this might be a bit off-topic, but here it goes: apt-get failed
with bad rpm database, so i tried to run rpm --rebuilddb. here is what i
get for my efforts:
error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

i am somewhat lost to which device or resource it might be. any
insights? tia, julius
