Hi all
OK, this is the strangest thing I have ever seen.
We are running Red Hat EL3
A few weeks back, we compiled hobbit into a rpm, and installed the
client on this machine.
Now we are trying to update the video driver, and we get this.
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2.run -ans
Verifying archive integrity... OK

If we remove the hobbit RPM and rename the /usr/lib/hobbit directory
to something else, it works.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yes, it was at least a year ago, and I was looking at hobbit-4.1.2 IIRC.
It was the same sort of bizarre environment poisoning you describe, and
I also saw it when trying to update nvidia drivers.
