The /var filesystem might be turned readonly ... usually happens on I/O errors... check "dmesg" for hardware errors? Ciao, marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-security+owner@opensuse.org

Looks like a local problem on your side? What is the security relevance of this problem?

It seems to me you have a local problem on your system, not that there is a security issue with the whois update. Please repost on the opensuse@... mail list where we will be happy to help. Include the output of the "mount" command, and of "ps ax | grep rpm". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
