rpm hangs toooo much (redhat 9.0)


Hi, people!
Is your rpm hanging @ redhat 9.0? It was hanging on 8.0, so I updated it. But it continues hanging.

When rebuilding db it gives me "error: db4 (16) error dbenv->remove: Device or resource is busy"

When I "rpm -ivh blahblahblah.rpm" it:

preparing ##### 100%
1:MPEG ###### 100%

then it exits whitout installing the package.

Can someone help me? Do these error msgs mean something to you out there?

I went to rpm.org and found the reason why i was having problems after trying to use apt-get in redhat 9.

The problem was apt-get failed and messed up my rpm databases so I...

rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm -vv -rebuilddb

and tada I could install any rpms I wanted.

But I haven't tried apt-get again.

I hope that helps anyone.
