Hi, all -- I've discovered a problem with the scpm RPM shipped with 9.0 (and not yet updated in YOU); who do I tell? The RPM extracts /var/lib/scpm/#LOCK (apparently a lock file) which means that yast cannot enable scpm and instead just hangs. Manually removing the lock file took care of the problem. TIA & HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.

In general: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2001/10/bugreport.html
The RPM extracts
/var/lib/scpm/#LOCK
What makes you so sure that this file is installed by the RPM package? I very much doubt so. It's not in the file list of the scpm package and I use scpm on 9.0 myself. Greetings from Bremen hartmut

That's no prove at all that the file /var/lib/scpm/#LOCK was installed by the scpm package. This might be a scpm problem, but it is certainly not a RPM bug.

I don't remember. Likely I tried it both ways during the beta test. Greetings from Bremen hartmut
