Couple of hours? I'm the boss and apper obeys me now or I kill it. Not even two minutes wait.
And... you snipped the bit where I said.. that waiting wasn't a solution.... I just asked if anyone has tried it. It probably isn't a couple of hours.. more like a few minutes. I just know that consistently on every single install I've done since at least 11.3 (on all my computers plau all the ones my friends are running oS on), Apper has collided with YaST, and it always always happens immediately after the initial install, and if I wait for Apper to do its thing... then no more problems from then on (my systems stay on 24x7, but I have noticed the occasional collision after a reboot).
I'm not that patient. Last time I needed to do something, and yast refused because apper was running. Yast asked apper to quit, after some wait, and it did not. I repeated three times. Then I killed package kit and told yast to retry, no go because package kit restarted automatically. Three times. Several minutes had passed. I could not uninstall apper because I had no chance to use any package manager. The only resource I had left was to first rename package kit, then kill the running instance, so that it could not start again. Happiness at last! Notice that the process does some wait, and I repeated the process three times. That is more than enough wait for me. I lost patience, it was not going to quit.
Why does it need to lock the RPM database anyway? If it is simply scanning the installed apps, can't it do it in a more passive mode? You should only have to lock the database if you're _changing_ content... not viewing. The fact it's locking the database is... stupid. If you click on it and tell it to apply updates.. then lock the database, but NOT during a scan.
Absolutely. That's what databases are for. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
