Try my usual technique, which is to stop zmd with 'rczmd stop', remove /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db (I think) (move it somewhere rather than just deleting it completely, in case you want to restore it ...), then restart zmd. The database is then rebuilt (you might need your installation media present at this point), and the updater starts working again.
I've been looking into those files ( the .db files in that dir) with knoda. They appear to be sqlite db format. I've found that installation sources I deleted LONG ago are still in there (kernal.org has been fairly useless, so i deleted it as an installation source, but its still there). That's what makes this db so damn big and slow. I'll probably try your suggestion, and see what happens. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
