I have since found that the seg fault does not occur when I run 'rpm -qa' as root. Maybe rpm segfaults when it can't open a file/resource? Can you attach the output of rpm -qa -vv that segfaults? Created attachment 99953 [details]
Output of rpm -qa -vv as requested
Any update on this? YOu have rpm-4.2.1 installed. The likeliest explanation is a dangling ptr fixed in rpm-4.2.2-0.6 and later. Doing "rm -f /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys" should make the segfault go away; then doing --rebuilddb will recreate the Pubkeys index. If that procedure "fixes", then you should upgrade to rpm-4.2.2-0.6 or later. |
