I presume you're having problems with RH 9.0 (or maybe 8?)... there are
many known issues with RPM lockups on that platform. Deleting the __db
files is the key, but I believe after that you should rebuild the
database by running "rpm --rebuilddb" as root. If you're still having
problems, I'd try that.

Patrick -
I forgot to check the privileges! They are correct: rw,r,r (I need to
learn the octal equivalents). However, I did change the owner but
that made no difference - as expected.
Also, I did "ps - A | grep "rpm".
Hmmmmm....is there a way to run the rpm manually? I am using
wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com|sh

rpm can sometimes leave its database in a locked state, even
when no processes are active on it. If this happens, I've found
that the following works for me (as superuser):
rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00?
(the files will be recreated next time rpm runs).
YMMV of course ...

sounds like your rpm database is locked by another process. you'll have
to kill that other process I guess. *shrug*

When Ximian attempts to install a new version, it almosts gets to the
end, but this error comes up:
Sep 26 12:41:28 Transaction failed: Unable to complete RPM transaction:
unable to open RPM database: fcntl failed
Any suggestions?
