Description

Was unable to reproduce until now -- lowering severity. In what hardware You tested it? (I have Athlon XP2600+) The binaries of the rpm packages, are optimized only for intel? In the last upgrade from beta 5 to 6, smart continues to lock, when it must to install all downloaded packages. With the rpm command, the lock only appears when I will install a high number of packages (for example with "rpm -Uh --nodeps --force --replacepkgs k*.rpm"), but in the rest of cases, has disappeared the lock with the message "warning: waiting to reestablish exclusive database lock". The only partial lock, comes from the fontconfig. Thanks (In reply to comment #0) > If I use the rpm command by hand (rpm -Uh --nodeps --force --replacepkgs > a*.rpm, and so on), for the upgrade (with the downloaded packages via smart), > frequently it locks with the message: > > warning: waiting to reestablish exclusive database lock This is probably related to concurrent use of rpm -q <something>. Did you run any rpm querys while you were updating via rpm -Uh ...? (It might also be related to novell-zmd -- please try to stop novell-zmd and try again.)

No. Could you please try to use the "--stepped" option of smart to update your packages? Please also run "rpm --rebuilddb" prior to updating your packages once, to make sure the rpm database is OK. > warning: waiting to reestablish exclusive database lock
Those warnings are definitely related to novell-zmd, but they should be uncritical.

Confirm changes? (Y/n): y And if the package was not downloaded, I must to wait until it was downloaded. > Please also run "rpm --rebuilddb" prior to updating your packages once, to make > sure the rpm database is OK. > I rebuilded the db, and now I run the smart upgrade with novell-zmd stopped. Tomorrow I let You know, how it works.

If You will, close the bug as resolved. Thanks Thanks! |
