            <p>I ran into another problem with the 2.6.5 kernel today. For the first time since <a href="319.html">upgrading to the 2.6.5 kernel</a> I had to use an RPM. Unfortunately rpm -qa returned an error</p>
            <p><code>error: db4 error1) from dbenv-&gt;open: Resource temporarily unavailable</code></p>
            <p><code>error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11)</code></p>
            <p><code>error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm</code></p>
            <p>I consulted the mighty oracle (well the mightly oracle apparently uses mysql, (the mighty oracle as in the word and not as in the name) and <a href="http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2003/May/7677.html">one of the pages that I ran into suggested</a>:</p>
            <p><code>alias rpm='LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 rpm'</code></p>
            <p>that it would fix it, and indeed it did. Apparently it's a bug in rpm. I guess it's now time to rpm -Uvh rpm-4.2.x</p>
