RPM Installer dies.

[Michael Kalus]

Hi,

I have a rather strange problem and wonder if anybody else has
encountered it:

It seems that on some RPMs under RH9 the RPM installer just gets stuck.
When I kill the process the system doesn't seem to be affected, but I
can't run RPM anymore until I reboot (though it now occurs to me that I
might want to see if there are any processes left running).

I upgraded to Fedora Core 1 yesterday and it shows the exact same
behaviour (I'd guess that the upgrade did not completely replace the RPM
stuff).

Anybody had this problem? I am tempted right now to completely blow the
installation away and make a fresh one?

Thanks.

Michael
