Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that. Nor did I
intend for you to go through the effort you just did
(thanks!). I thought a one-short-paragraph summary would do
it.
Don't worry about it - You _did_ sound like that, and I just
wanted to point that out
I was unable to access the list archives the last few times I
tried it, don't know why (doesn't have anything to do with
Linux, have tried and failed on both Windows and Linux boxes)
but this morning I was able to get through to it and found one
of the threads you mentioned, the one about "Package managers
gone haywire".
Fedora-list archives are a pain, mostly, but when you just need
to glance at a couple of days of traffic, they work fine
Your notes about SELinux are noted, however I have had SELinux
disabled all along. I just checked it and it's still
disabled.
Got it -- yours and my problem may be completely different,
though, I'd bet that your rpm database is messed up
<CJ>>>>>you seem to have the time to drive to the next city
over if you must<<<<<
Actually I don't, nto really ... that's the problem. But, as
you say, if I "must" then I guess I have to take the time
whether I have it or not...
I will try all the things you tried, although I am a little
nervous about deleting all the __db.00x files when three of
the four of them are still open as reported by lsof. I think
that's caused by having to kill the rpm process with SIGKILL,
which tends not to kill things very cleanly...
I've been toying with the notion of just rebooting the machine
remotely with "reboot"... I suppose the worst that can happen
then is I'll have to drive over to the colo facility and fix
it if it doesn't reboot properly...
Mine took some time - five minutes may not have been enough. Give
it some time before you reboot. On my machine, I did have to go
in and manually remove and reinstall a few packages after all
this -- I ended up redoing all the updates from Saturday, but
most were uneventful. I had a lot of problems with pam and
pam-devel and one or two others, and those took a little more
doing, but not that much.
