RPM hanging for no (apprent) reason??

Just a little tip in case there is anybody out there with the same problem...
:-)

This morning i wanted to install some updates with 'zypper up'. That usually works without any problems!
But... Today it would go up to 100% installing the first package and then just hang forever. It didn't use any CPU, so it took me a while to even notice! Some investigation showed it was the rpm process not doing anything that zypper waited for.
rpm --rebuilddb didn't help, neither did removing zypper's cache...

Now... The real reason was: i mounted a nfs-share yesterday and didn't unmount it before suspending my laptop and taking it to work!

So... If you have similar problems, just try to umount the nfs-share, you might to do 'umount -l /...' to do that though!
