But, I can't find anything in "ps aux" that looks like it might use
rpm,<<<<<
As a followup ... When rpm, or a program that uses rpm, hangs up on
me, the only way to terminate it has been with kill -SIGKILL (-9).
SIGHUP and SIGTERM don't work). Killing with SIGKILL tends to be
rather abrupt and unclean, and no doubt left some open files (lock
files or other) around.
I suppose a reboot is in order, wouldn't you say? Maybe I can get
over to the colo facility sometime tomorrow... at least the server is
still running fine in all other aspects so I guess it's not a dire
emergency (yet)...
Have you tried this yet?
[root@fedora ~]# cd /var/lib/rpm
[root@fedora rpm]# rm -f __db*
[root@fedora rpm]# rpm --rebuilddb -vv
