Description Brian Exelbierd 2004-06-14 19:18:17 UTC
Description of problem:
rpm -qa segfaults.

These solutions are always provided by private mail, so how can I get 
a copy of the solution?  I will provide any files requested.

Please be advised, I have not updated the rpm version (still 4.0.2-
6x) as I believe the problems resides in packages.rpm with the glib 
entry.

see below:

# rpm -qa
tmpwatch-2.8-0.6.x
setup-2.1.8-1
filesystem-1.3.5-1
basesystem-6.0-4
ldconfig-1.9.5-16
anacron-2.1-6
bash-1.14.7-23.6x
shadow-utils-19990827-10
termcap-10.2.7-9
libtermcap-2.0.8-20
bind-utils-8.2.3-0.6.x
MAKEDEV-2.5.2-1
ximian-wallpapers-0.2-ximian.1
ximian-faq-1.0-ximian.2
rxvt-2.6.1-8
info-4.0-5
fwbuilder-0.8.7-2
Segmentation fault

# rpm -q glib
Segmentation fault

This is the package right before fwbuilder in the nameindex.rpm 
file.  The file before glib is X11R6-Contrib .. it works fine:

# rpm -q X11R6-contrib
X11R6-contrib-3.3.2-11

Comments?

Thanks,

bex

If you still have packages.rpm, then this is a db1 rpmdb
that is almost impossible to support.

You might try a --rebuilddb with rpm-4.0.4 (or -4.0.5, I fergit)
from ftp.rpm.org:/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x. The algorithm
for repairing a broken chain in the first-fit set of headers
is better in rpm-4.0.4, might help repair the damage.
