[NTLUG:Discuss] RedHat 8 and broken rpm

[Ryan Sweat]

I have RedHat 8 installed on 3 computers, and 2 of them (both intel i686) have
broken rpm implementations.  Almost everytime I attempt to install or remove
a software package, the rpm command freezes and the database is corrupted.  I have
noticed by searching the redhat-lists and google that many people are having the
same problem, but RedHat is dismissing it, saying they cannot reproduce it.

I just wanted to see if anyone is having the same problem and what, if anything, 
you did to fix the problem.  The way I get around it now is rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*, 
and try again..and again..and again.
