Here's what I get when attempting "rpm -Fvh glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.i686.rpm":
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
warning: glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
I understand that the join environment thing is related to the posix threads
problem, but is it all related? Once somebody enlightens me how to upgrade
these packages, will all of the above go away?
