From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-1-ww i586) Description of problem: iInstalled RH6.2 zoot "Everything". Grabbed (keep a local mirror) updates.redhat.com/6.2/en/os/i386 Upgraded popt, rpm, db3. Upgraded the rest of the packages. Installed sendmail and named from latest source hand built (did not remove rpms for sendmail due to depencies, just overwrote the 5 executables). 3 weeks later (after "burn-in" ready to go production tomorrow ), today, the 4th. Get dumb idea to use Ximian/Red Carpet to update the machine Copied the /var/cache/red-carpet directory from home to the server. rpm -U *rpm Had to rpm -e kdebase and a few others ran red-carpet Installed all the redhat 6.2 updates (except bind, anonftpd, wu-ftpd) Decided (stupid idea number 2) to update the Gnome stuff. Installed about 6 packages, then, right before the "Finished" point, after all packages appeared to be installed, the app seg faulted. rpm --rebuilddb runs for a few seconds and seg faults.
