Crash log
Comment 2 Frank Solensky 2007-07-18 12:08:43 UTC 
"rpm -qf /usr/bin/pup" returns pirut-1.3.7-1.fc7
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2007-07-24 20:28:45 UTC 
What's the output of 'rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" glibc'?
Comment 4 Frank Solensky 2007-07-25 01:49:45 UTC 
"glibc.i686" twice.

When I run "rpm -q glibc" two packages are listed: glibc.2.5-10.fc6 and glibc.2.6-3

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2007-08-10 19:54:07 UTC 
If you do 'rpm -e --justdb glibc.2.5-10.fc6' and then try again, does it work
better?
Comment 7 Frank Solensky 2007-08-15 01:38:35 UTC 
Yes, that takes care of the problem.

Could that be included in some manner so that the extra command doesn't need to
be entered manually?
Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2007-08-15 13:44:25 UTC 
The problem is that you had an update which only partially completed at some
point.  And there's no way to programatically know that it's the case and that
it's not something else going on, therefore, manual intervention is occasionally
necessary.
Comment 9 Frank Solensky 2007-08-26 15:57:14 UTC 
Understood.  Would it be possible to avoid the crash listed in the first
attachment then?  The "rpm -e" resolves the package conflict for me but the
underlying problem may still be there.

The crash listed in comment #5 is different; likely a separate issue.
