[Cialug] Fedora - the dreaded rpmq failure

[David Champion]

Anyone have a real solution for the dreaded Fedora rpmq hanging from the
/etc/cron.daily/rpm script (or anything else that does rpm -q)?

Here's a random googled thread on it...

Noticed this happening on a FC6 box today, I'd forgotten about it, but
seem to recall this being a problem with Fedora like a couple of years
ago. Can't believe they haven't solved it yet.

I'll do a reboot and rpm --rebuilddb later when people aren't using
it... but would be nice to find a real fix for it.
