try as root rczmd stop mv /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db.bak (or something else) rczmd restart and wait. I've also had to reboot (or drop to runlevel 1 and back) to get this to take. This has fixed several problem which crop up from time to time with zmd for me (although not yours specifically IIRC). If it doesn't work, it is always undoable. Good luck. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Don . The " mv /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db.bak" did the trick .. cooking on gas again now thanks . Just strange the way it was there updating a package then bingo gone .. deasd and burried ..

I've seen on my own system behavior like that and most of the time it turns out to be something like running out of disk space or the like. When applications are updating files (making bigger, like the db for zmd) and they run out of space, they usually recover (don't crash) but don't continue either. They will just sit and wait for space. Now, in SuSE 10.2 I noticed that the default partitioning changed from all free space on '/' and /home in same partition, to making /home in a separate (and the biggest, taking all free space) and limiting the size for '/'. Don't know, something that bit my/me anyway...... B-) On Tuesday 06 March 2007 12:46 pm, peter nikolic wrote:

In my experience, there is never a need to move that database and you can just nuke it. zmd always rebuilds it, and the old one is clearly broke anyway. YMMV. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
