Dear Monks,

I have RedHat 6 and Perl 5.10 shipped with it. Since a recent update NBDM fails: in my case it is an errno 17 (more precise: it is Term::Clui database that is called and fails with the ndbm error). The database was created with the correct rights, etc. and the exact same program worked correctly until the update of the system.
Do you know which might be the trouble here? Any dependencies I don't know about? I dont have much information for you but any hint is highly appreciated.
I can disable the database in Term::Clui that is not my real concern.
I am worried that the whole database mechanism in Perl might be broken...

PS: I am using version 1.8 of gdbm (the latest version according to yum).
