Description Hans Petter Jansson 2008-09-15 20:23:19 UTC 
I issued a "zypper dup" and it got stuck during the night. I have plenty of free space, etc.

The last output is:

Retrieving: open-vm-tools-2008.09.03-3.i586.rpm [done (40.4 K/s)]
Installing: open-vm-tools-2008.09.03-3 [83%]

A backtrace yields the following:

I also have this in my process list:

Maybe RPM crashed and zypper failed to detect it?
Comment 1 Hans Petter Jansson 2008-09-16 05:49:46 UTC 
It happened again:

Retrieving: open-vm-tools-2008.09.03-5.i586.rpm [done (31.1 K/s)]
Installing: open-vm-tools-2008.09.03-5 [32%]

It's the same package, although it stalled earlier this time. Could it be related to the fact that I'm running this in a vmware instance?
Comment 2 Stanislav Visnovsky 2008-10-27 08:27:38 UTC 
Pavol, any idea?

No, as a matter of fact, installing this package makes sense ONLY inside VMware instance.

What is your VMware version?
