see bug 483264. Unfortunately that bug seems to have been closed against yum, when perhaps it should have been readdigned to the package that provides the plugin that causes the segfault, doing that here. --- 2007-Dec 08 18:13:46 Updated: libsmbios-libs - 0.13.13-1.fc8.i386 2007-Dec 08 18:23:34 Updated: libsmbios-bin - 0.13.13-1.fc8.i386 2008-Nov 29 14:11:41 Installed: libsmbios-debuginfo-2.0.1-2.fc9.1.i386 2008-Dec 31 06:33:29 Updated: libsmbios-debuginfo-2.0.1-2.fc10.1.i386 2009-May 09 13:18:12 Updated: libsmbios-debuginfo-2.2.15-3.fc11.i586 2009-May 09 13:19:40 Updated: libsmbios-2.2.15-3.fc11.i586 2009-May 09 13:20:20 Installed: smbios-utils-bin-2.2.15-3.fc11.i586 2009-May 09 13:23:11 Installed: python-smbios-2.2.15-3.fc11.i586 2009-May 09 13:23:12 Installed: smbios-utils-python-2.2.15-3.fc11.i586 2009-May 09 13:23:32 Updated: smbios-utils-2.2.15-3.fc11.i586 It seems the F10 upgrade to F11preview caused the installation of this package. Possibly both the application needs to be fixed, and the package fixed to not install on non-dell machines if it isn't intended for them. I never saw indication of this plugin before the upgrade to F11preview. Please try with newer firmware-addon-dell and firmware-tools landing in updates-testing in the next 24 hours or so. Seems like there is not much to be added. Reporter, can you reproduce this with http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=102334 and http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=102297 ? Thank you the plugin comes from smbios-utils-python, where a bug was fixed in 2.2.16 that might account for this. 2.2.16 isn't released in Fedora yet, but it is in the Dell Community repository (http://linux.dell.com/repo/community). I'll see about getting it built for F-11 updates-testing. libsmbios-2.2.16-2.1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libsmbios-2.2.16-2.1.fc11 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=102202 has the fixed libsmbios, if you care to try before it hits updates-testing. Matt, I was concerned that having unusable yum just after a user upgrades from f10 -> f11 would really spoil the fun. Can/will this make it into the release isos ? Did the package change so that the sysid yum plugin is _not_ auto installed during upgrade (or is the intent to have it on all users machines) ? (In reply to comment #2) > Please try with newer firmware-addon-dell and firmware-tools landing in > updates-testing in the next 24 hours or so. How would that help a person who upgrades to F11 (ie rawhide) ? this is a bit confusing I admit; I'm just coming to grips with it myself. In F9 and F10, hal requires libsmbios and smbios-utils. smbios-utils requires smbios-utils-python, and s-u-p provides dellsysidplugin2. So users upgrading from F9 or F10 to F11 will have had smbios-utils-python pulled in. (Fresh installs of F11 should not, as hal no longer depends on libsmbios or smbios-utils). The libsmbios/smbios-utils* package in dist-f11 is buggy and causing the setfault. So upgraders could easily run into the problem, and be unable to run yum after doing an upgrade. That would be awful. Thanks for noticing, and raising the alarm. I'll ask libsmbios-2.2.16* get tagged into dist-f11. Jesse tagged libsmbios-2.2.16 into f11-final.

Additional info: seems to be an issue around dellsysidplugin2 (which I didn't specifically installed, unsure where it came from). Also, after attempted --noplugin yum run (that couldn't complete), machine is using all memory (1.5GB ram + 1GB swap): sedispatch 84.5% mem in top.
