Is glibc the only thing in the update transaction when the segfault occurs?

Can you recreate the segfault consistently?

If you can do the above does it happen when you run rpm -Uvh on the same set of
packages?


Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-07-17 18:59:12 UTC
I'd say this is yet another dupe of #213963, FC6 freshly installed from CD has a
kernel with the mmap-bug-of-death that causes segfaults with rpm all over the
place. 

Comment 4 Marek Mahut 2007-07-17 19:09:45 UTC
I didn't have change to access that machine yet, I will over the weekend.
Regarding the bug #213963 from Panu, I can agree that it's the same problem. 

I mark this bug as a duplicate of #213963 and will continue the troubleshooting
there if needed.

Thank you Seth and Panu.
