Description Søren Sandmann Pedersen 2006-09-12 21:30:43 UTC

Description of problem:

rpm crashed when I attempted to install the soon-to-be attached package. Then I
tried again, and it crashed again. Then I tried once again; this time it just
hung forever.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.4.2-32 (the one that will be in fc6 test3, I believe)

I have only seen it once.

Additional info:

The hang is easy to fix. You *must* do
   rm f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
after every exceptional (like a segfault or a kill -9) termination
of rpm.

The package is failing sanity checks on tag values and is likely
boogered up because of how you (or someone else) copied the
package.

If you give me a ptr to the package, I'll fix the segfault and verify
exactly what is wrong with the package.

No reproducer == NOTABUG

Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-06-27 13:34:52 UTC

Unable to fix without a reproducer.
