Re: [Evolution] Upgrading Evolution

Patrick -

I forgot to check the privileges!  They are correct: rw,r,r (I need to learn the octal equivalents).  However, I did change the owner but that made no difference - as expected.

Also, I did "ps - A | grep "rpm".

Hmmmmm....is there a way to run the rpm manually?  I am using

wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com|sh

rpm can sometimes leave its database in a locked state, even
when no processes are active on it. If this happens, I've found
that the following works for me (as superuser):

	rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00?

(the files will be recreated next time rpm runs).

YMMV of course ...

sounds like your rpm database is locked by another process. you'll have
to kill that other process I guess. *shrug*

When Ximian attempts to install a new version, it almosts gets to the 
end, but this error comes up:

Sep 26 12:41:28 Transaction failed: Unable to complete RPM transaction: 
unable to open RPM database: fcntl failed

Any suggestions?
