 | | | RPM still having problems? | RPM still having problems? 2004-04-01 - By Jonathan Schatz
Back
my machine: stock dell 1600sc (dual p4 2.4ghz, 1 gig ram) running RHEL
AS 3.0 fully up2date
the problem:
[root@(protected) root]$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
[root@(protected) root]$ time rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.0-88.4
real 0m0.121s
user 0m0.030s
sys 0m0.010s
[root@(protected) root]$ unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
[root@(protected) root]$ time rpm -q perl
(process hangs)
(from a different console)
[root@(protected) root]$ ps auxww|grep rpm
root 23989 0.1 0.1 7472 1576 pts/3 S 16:55 0:00 /usr/lib/
rpm/rpmq -q perl
[root@(protected) jon]$ strace -p 23989
Process 23989 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0xbf72ac10, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL
(hangs forever)
i remember hearing about mystery hanging rpm issues since rh9, and the
solution was always to upgrade to a more recent version of rpm. is that
still the unofficial solution? can i rebuild an rpm without nptl (which
i assume is the culprit here)? does anyone else still see this problem?
