Don't know if your using redhat 8, but if you are - Redhat 8 rpm has a (yet unfixed) feature. Symptom is that rpm commands hang. If rpm is acting up in any way, You might try removing:<BR>
<BR>
/var/lib/rpm/__db.001<BR>
/var/lib/rpm/__db.002<BR>
/var/lib/rpm/__db.003<BR>
<BR>
then rpm --rebuilddb<BR>
<BR>

Sounds like something is broken on your redhat box.
Does a "rpm --rebuilddb" help at all?
