Description Bill Nottingham 2004-11-01 21:50:09 UTC 
anaconda[318]: segfault at 0000000000000060 rip 0000002a95e03052 rsp
0000007fbfffd8b0 error 4

Or, on another box:

anaconda[332]: segfault at 00000000003f9065 rip 0000002a95e02fec rsp
0000007fbfffd8d0 error 4

According to tty 3:

moving (I1) to step installpackages
setting file_context_path to
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts

rpm diffs between -13 and -20

Here's the rpm changes between -13 and -20, just for reference.

poptI.c and psm.c look obviously safe.

Which leaves rpmts-py.c (#137116) and lib/formats.c (#135389)
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-11-01 22:23:35 UTC 
Note - the rpmIncreaseVerbosity needs to go away.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-11-01 22:26:52 UTC 
Erm, bug 135859 is the lib/formats.c bug fixed, just for reference.
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2004-11-01 22:33:54 UTC 
Happens on i386 too.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-11-02 02:27:10 UTC 
And, your backtrace is....

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2004-11-02 02:42:09 UTC 
... annnd, in fact, removing the rpmIncreaseVerbosity calls gets rid
of the segfault. Will add a patch to the FC3 branch in package cvs;
Jeff, you probably want to hit CVS with the fix.
