I just installed Redhat 8.0 on a new system. As one of my first tasks, I check out the init.d directory and decide what I don't want installed. I then query rpm for the correct rpm package & then proceed to remove them via `rpm -e`
Here's where the problem comes in. I am able to query rpm just fine, but if I specify too many packages to install at once, rpm freezes. For example, I tried to removed all instances of postgres: # rpm -e ` rpm -qa | grep post` It just sat there. Ctrl-C wouldn't work. So I had to suspend. kill % wouldn't work either. I had to kill -9 %. After that, any rpm queries would just freeze. I have to reboot the machine in order to restore rpm functionality. After reboot I can interact with rpm again, but it eventually freezes. It even froze during a rpm --rebuilddb. But as always, a reboot fixes the problem. Anyone else having problems? I checked RedHat's errata, but no rpm issues were listed. -Rob -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
