RE: [Evolution] Upgrading Evolution



I use the nyquist rpms and after the last update yesterday,
my spelling quit working.

Is there a good faq on the rpm's needed for the spelling to work?

You can get rpms from a few places..

one is nyquist rpms (apt-repo.. not sure of exact url.. people.escs
something like that)

or

you can get it from www.planetmirror.com/pub/

That's actually one of the mirrors that the ximian installer gets the files
from..

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.

On my machine the modes are 644 (rw,r,r) and owner root, and
I don't have any difficulty. You might want to check the mode
on the directory itself, just in case. Mine is:

drwxr-xr-x    2 rpm      rpm          1024 Sep 26 09:40 /var/lib/rpm/


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

You could just copy the output of wget:

wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com > foo

and then poke around in foo to see what's going on.

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?
