Hi Jeff, others,
Is it safe to use rpm 4.1.2 (e.g. a rebuilded Severn rpm) on RHL 8
and 9 to prevent the frequently appearing sequence rpm lockup ->
kill -9 ... -> rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* -> try again?
No, I do not think so. RHL 9 and severn use nptl 8.0 does not. Use
4.1.1 for 8.0 and 4.2.1 for 9. It fixed the problem for me.
HTH,
