Another rpm process is accessing the rpm db at the same time. First stop
that process(es).

Hi Alexander,

Yes, but I've got this error message even after rebooting the machine...
Normally, there is nothing running at the same time !!!

Should I use "rpm -initdb" now ??

Thx

Stephane

It's harmless, you can safely ignore it.

Do you use a clean Redhat 9 system with updates or do you use maybe a
2.6.x kernel? Did you install any packages not coming from and for Redhat?

Yes, I have a clean Redhat v 9.0
My Kernel is the original one 2.4..... (no upgrade!)
my RPM package come from the Rdhat CD...
=> So, everything ... from the original CD !!

I have installed on 2 different machines (also same softwares => same
problem...)

I have effectivelly installed a software, which is for Redhat 9,0 but
doesn't come from Redhat.... (Cross compiler from Metrowerks)

- Do you think I can use "rpm -initdb" ?? What exactly does this command ?

- What exactly should do " rpm -rebuilddb" ? I saw, that this has to rebuild
the database... In which case that you have to rebuild your database ??
(sorry for the basic question... but I still don't reallty understand !!!
Sad

Thanks...

Stephane

Originally, I tried to install a package : ]# rpm -i
gcc-ppc_8xx-2.95.4-4j_2.ppc.rpm
Because of missing the "binutils, I tried to install fiirst the binutil....
(se below)

It said "conflict " !!! but this is not the same package !!! (2 different
binutil....)
Do you know why ??????

I would need this RPM , without removing the previous one... which could be
useful... Smile
