Hi,

For some time now when upgrading TW (which I do  regularly using zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change) when it comes to apache2-mod_php7, zypper halts. That is, it ends with the 100% installed message, and than it stops.
I have to "kill -9" it to free the terminal, and have to start zypper anew.

Anyone any idea whit might cause that?

cheers, Jogchum

It has been a while since I got the opportunity to run these commands, but now the installation of apache2 stalls zypper again.

ps -ef | grep apache:

root      13713   7641  0 15:31 pts/1    00:00:00 rpm --root / --dbpath /var/lib/rpm -U --percent --noglob --force --nodeps -- /var/cache/zypp/packages/http-download.opensuse.org-4503a06a/x86_64/apache2-mod_wsgi-python3-4.6.8-2.2.x86_64.rpm
root      13720  13717  0 15:31 pts/1    00:00:00 vi /etc/sysconfig/apache2#

rpm -q --scripts apache2-mod_wsgi-python3:

postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if ! /usr/sbin/a2enmod -q wsgi; then
  /usr/sbin/a2enmod wsgi
fi
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  if a2enmod -q wsgi; then
    /usr/sbin/a2enmod -d wsgi
  fi
fi
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if ! /usr/sbin/a2enmod -q wsgi; then
  /usr/sbin/a2enmod wsgi
fi
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  if a2enmod -q wsgi; then
    /usr/sbin/a2enmod -d wsgi
  fi
fi

If I run " /usr/sbin/a2enmod -q wsgi" by hand, it stalls too, and if I kill it, the meaagage on the terminal is "/etc/sysconfig/apache2: regel 200: 31751 Geëlimineerd (eliminated in Dutch)

The file /etc/sysconfig/apache2# contains on line 200 the line "vi /etc/sysconfig/apache2#" a self-referral.

If I kill the "rpm --root <...>" line, on the terminal that runs the zypper dup the message is

Installation of apache2-mod_wsgi-python3-4.6.8-2.2.x86_64 fialed:
Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM filed: Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal

zypper halts again on apache2-mod_php7-7.4.3-1.2.x86_64.rpm, and here also it is apparently the command "vi /etc/sysconfig/apache2#:" where the process halts.

If I kill the several vi-processes from the postinstall script, zypper answers with

Any idea what to do to update apache2?
