[PLUG] Running RPM -Uvh gives segmentation fault

[Michael Luevane]

Nope, not custom, as far as I remember, other than the options I selected
during install. It was a pretty vanilla Mandrake 8.1 install off of CDs that
I purchased.

Is there any way to get the entries that it's looking for in there? (please
note my n00bness...)

Are you running a custom-built kernel by chance? The rpm utility makes use
of certain entries under /proc that aren't there if you don't select the
right kernel build options. Worse, rpm doesn't fail gracefully if those
/proc entries are missing. It usually just seg faults.
