Can you describe your usual RPM activities?

Do you interrupt rpm often? Interrupting rpm is one major source of
being confronted with stale lock files. 

I haven't seen an rpm lockup for a *very* long time. Neither with
Shrike nor with Severn. And I have erased, installed and queried
hundreds to thousands of packages [in my build environment]. On Red
Hat Linux 8.0 it's rpm 4.1.1-1.8x from Fedora "Patches" that works for
me:
