Description Ray Frye 2007-04-22 14:07:16 UTC

Installing RPM from folder in konqueror using "Install Package with YaST" button works after reboot.  Installing a second RPM the same way causes error message "Another process is accessing the package database.  Package management cannot be used now."

It is necessary to identify the process manually and kill it to allow further installs.  I narrowed the problem program down to krpmview.  Below is the terminal capture that remedies the problem.

Comment 1 Dirk Mueller 2007-05-09 12:05:32 UTC

it is because zypper asks

"Do you want to trust key id bla ?" [y/n]

which hangs forever.

Comment 2 Jan Kupec 2007-05-09 12:18:30 UTC

Dirk, just make sure zypper is called with --non-interactive option (or in an xterm), i'll handle the key import issue (bug 251044).

Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2007-05-09 12:38:11 UTC

doesn't work: 

sudo /usr/bin/zypper  --non-interactive service-delete _krpmview_temporary
WARNING: global non-interactive mode is still under development, use with caution. This mode has been implemented and tested for install, remove, and update commands so far.

rpm -q zypper
zypper-0.7.1-8

I've added a </dev/null now, that seems to help :)

Comment 4 Jan Kupec 2007-05-09 12:56:00 UTC

I meant, it will work with --non-interactive _after_ fixing bug 251044 :O) I just mentioned the --non-interactive mode which is to be used in cases like this (zypper called in the background/from script).

Comment 5 Stephan Binner 2007-10-24 11:24:52 UTC

So this bug is fixed? Or who is responsible now?

Comment 6 Jan Kupec 2007-10-24 11:51:18 UTC

Yes, it should work now. Dirk, please check.

Comment 7 Dirk Mueller 2008-07-24 14:55:37 UTC

seems to work fine (--non-interactive is in the package).
