[PLUG] Running RPM -Uvh gives segmentation fault

[Michael Luevane]

Well, I ran it. I don't know really what I'm looking for, tho'.

I looked through the rpm-trace file that it creates but couldn't see
anything that was obvious. If I post the whole thing, it's a huge text
file - ~240k. If there's something specific I should be looking for, I can.
But I need to know what :P

Thanks, all!

Michael,

I don't have any Mandrake-specific experience, but you might try
wrapping strace around rpm to see where the failure is really taking
place, e.g.,

  strace -o /tmp/rpm-trace rpm -Uvh libintl2-0.11.5-2mdk.i586.rpm

Toward the end of the rpm-trace file, you should get some hints as to
what system calls are leading to the segfault.
