This can happen when the RPM database is locked. Check if any other RPM
processes are running with "ps auxwww", make sure they're all dead, and try
again with "-v -v" added. If it's still hanging, you need to delete the lock
files at /var/lib/rpm/_*, maybe use "rpm --rebuilddb" to clean up any
debris, then try again.
Your system could also be overwhelmed and swapping like crazy.... |

You can try rebuilding the rpm database (rpm --rebuilddb), though that
may have absolutely nothing to do with your problem. I would take the
previous poster's suggestion of turning verbose mode on to see where the
process is hanging.
Sometimes removing the __db files from /var/lib/rpm helps too.

That would help because some Berkely DB implementations makes locks
persistent by storing the lock in one of the __db files.

Hello,
I am trying to rpm a file and it doesn't work. When I type rpm -i
MySQL-server-4.1.9-0.i386.rpm, it just sits there and that's it. Any
ideas?
