rpm lockups - argh
by Sean Middleditch
right, so I think I've had about enough of this...
what causes RPM to (seemingly randomly) lockup when installing or
removing packages?
what known fixes are there to stop it from happening anymore?
how does anyone expect any kind of non-advanced technical user to deal
with an OS whose central functionality was broken in a major release and
not ever fixed, even just before the next major release? grr.
My system:
Latest Rawhide (20030921)
RPM 4.2.1-0.30
Kernel 2.4.20-19.9

fedora releases
by Antti
I was wondering when will be the next fedora product released? In
general, do redhat and fedora release at the same time or are fedora
releases always released after redhat releases since they're different
distributions?

Evolution contacts transfer
by Gerry Tool
I would like to copy my evolution contacts information from my working
RHL9 evolution 1.2 program to my new severn evolution 1.4 program. I
can't find an export/import process to do that.
Is there a way to do it? If not, are there some files I can copy from
one system to the other?
Thanks.

SIGPIPE, where is it coming from?
by Brown, Tony
Hi all,
I am running a Netbackup RH 7.1 client (Win2k Media/Master Server). My diferrential backups are fine. My full backup is consistently disconnecting the socket(s) with a SIGPIPE error. I am at a loss in trying to find what is producing the SIGPIPE.
[5066] <16> bpbkar sighandler: ERR - bpbkar killed by SIGPIPE
[5066] <2> bpbkar sighandler: INF - ignoring additional SIGPIPE signals
I see that gdb can be used to trap signals or redirect the action of certain signals ... but this looks to be based on C programs ... my process is ksh based.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Tony Brown

mouse cursor and mozilla-but-really-metacity bug
by Justin Georgeson
I used up2date to install sawfish, to test out the bug listed below with
a different window manager, turns out to be metacity is the culprit.
After confirming this, the software mouse cursor is no longer the
translucent one with a shadow. I still get the animated hourglass while
gdm is loading, but it quickly changes to a plain black mouse cursor.
Anyone know how to fix this? To install sawfish up2date grabbed two
extra RPMs to meet dependencies, rep-gtk and something else, but I
didn't write it down. Anyone know what that might be?
Also, does anyone think there's a chance of this getting fixed if I
submit a bug report against metacity? The problem also exists in firebird.
Bug in question:

secure IMAP applet
by Justin Georgeson
One of the biggest reasons I like the combined nature of the mozilla
suite is I get notified of new mail with just a browser window open. To
my knowledge, the "inbox monitor" applet that comes with gnome does not
support secure imap though (imap over ssl on port 993). Am I wrong? Can
anyone recommend a sercure IMAP enabled GNOME panel applet? I don't want
to have to leave thunderbird running unminimized in order to get new
mail notifications, and don't want to send my password over the internet
unencrypted.
