Hi Tom! Hi list!
Thanks for Aurora!
Here is my feedback:
I have a RH6.2 with all updates, lots of rawhide rpms and a few that I
compiled from SRPMS myself (php, postgresql, vnc,and a few more). But this
is not relevant, I believe.
I wanted to upgrade RPM, and to do that had to upgrade popt, but you don't
provide popt-devel. If I need it, should I compile it from SRPMS and send
it to you ? For the time being, I just deleted it.
Then, the next problem was:
[root@casbah rpms]# rpm -Uvh rpm-4.0.3-1.03.sparc.rpm
rpm-build-4.0.3-1.03.sparc.rpm rpm-perl-4.0.3-1.03.sparc.rpm
rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03.sparc.rpm popt-1.6.3-1.03.sparc.rpm
gnorpm-0.96-11.sparc.rpm rpmfind-1.7-2.sparc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
librpm.so.0 is needed by kpackage-1.3.10-3
librpmbuild.so.0 is needed by kpackage-1.3.10-3
But there isn't also a kpackage. I also rpm -e'd it as I don't use it
anyway. But I thought you'ld like to know.
Then I tried to run
rpm -Uvh gcc-2.96-101.sparc.rpm
and rpm hang up... and top showed no rpm process running (ie. with cpu
load, though it was there...).
-vv gave:
[root@casbah rpms]# rpm -Uvvh gcc-2.96-101.sparc.rpm
D: ============== gcc-2.96-101.sparc.rpm

and nothing more... cpu was 96% idle during running.
I then decided to rpm --rebuilddb, and it has been running since then,
taking 96% of the processor. More than 15minutes now...
Should I kill it ? What will happen to the db ?
Thanks for any tip.
My plans after this are:
upgrade glibc, and db1,db2 and db3
I suspect it may have to do with these.
