Howdy,<br><br>If ever somebody here might have encountered this, the rpm -qa commands just stuck for ages on my box ( honestly this is rhel 3 box).<br>I done rebuilding already the /var/lib/rpm/__db* as per KB article but to no avail.
<br><br>Any additional hints what's to look for?<br><br>One thing I notice w/c I think is weird is that we I losf the process of rpm -qa that's freezing, it's looking somewhere instead of /var/lib/rpm/ I supposed.
