the X case looks very odd. Looks like a segfault in the orbit module possibly. But then, I dont ever import the ORBit module (at least not directly). could you try to get a `strace -o strace.out -f /usr/sbin/up2date` and attach the output to this bug report? If I had to guess, it would be that there are some corrupted libs or modules somewhere causing the segfault. But thats based on me not having seen a report of this before, and the odd place it seems to be segfaulting. Could you try a `rpm -Va ` and see if anything unexpected pops up (particular libs or python modules with modified md5sums). But this is just a shot in the dark. Created attachment 94163 [details]
As requested, results from `strace -o strace.out -f /usr/sbin/up2date`
rpm -Va didn't seem to suggest anything odd
Thanks for the prompt reply
Nick
havent seen any reports of this issue with current releases, so closing |
