Strace reveals that it's hanging in a futex right after RT access has been denied. On my system I disallow RT access to everything except a single app that actually needs it. 18345 1 mark.hatle 2012-01-25 08:20:49 +0000 What are you using to deny the RT access? (Futexes are used by the internal locking, but I don't know why anything would be using RT within Zypper.) 18348 2 koen 2012-01-25 08:29:59 +0000 It's a systemd feature: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-November/003793.html The RT thing might be a read herring, I'll try to strace it again and attach the log 24462 3 mark.hatle 2012-08-24 21:04:19 +0000 No further info on this, nobody has been able to replicate it recently.
