7 I had this problem with rpm waiting for a lock in its DB. This futex()
8 call waits forever, that at memory address 0x2ac88d5093a0 appears a 2.
9 Try to figure out what's mapped on 0x2ac88d5093a0 and what could write a
10 2 to it but doesn't. It should also appear somewhere in the strace.
11 Maybe this gives a clue what it is waiting for.

13 HTH. Kind regards,
14 Frank.
