But that might be a sporadic problem. If you are still having the problem with rpm-4.1.1-1.8x on the 8.0 machines or rpm-4.2-1 on the 9 boxes please bugzilla it with details so that JBJ can track it down. There have been numerous reports of problems but AFAIK no one has provided enough details for the cause to be identified and fixed. For me upgrading fixed the problem 100%, but that is just my ~20 or so machines. HTH, ...........Tom
