Mandrake Linux Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: rpm
Advisory ID: MDKA-2003:030-1
Date: December 4th, 2003
Original Advisory Date: November 18th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A bug was found in the way that rpm locks it's database in that it
prevents update-menus from running properly and can cause the loss of
KDE, GNOME, and other WM menus.
This package provides a better locking mechanism that should prevent
this improper behaviour.
Update:
The previous package did not properly clean up the lock file when
issuing a --rebuilddb. This has been corrected by these packages
